   Author : Louise Ringholm; [2023]
   Keywords : Wound treatment; wound care; bioactive materials; calcium silicate;

   Abstract : Wound care is a field with many treatment methods and products on the market. The healing period varies, some wounds become difficult to heal and chronic, in many cases a connection can be drawn to underlying diseases.

3. 2. Understanding the effects of TCP-25 and EDTA interaction : A study of the biophysical aspects of a naturally derived peptide formulation with EDTA for topical application

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

   Author : Ebba Kant; [2023]
   Keywords : chronic wounds; EDTA; biophysical aspects; formulation; pharmaceutical technology; Thrombin derived C-terminal peptide; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Chronic wounds are an emerging healthcare issue and current methods of healing chronic wounds address bacteria but are ineffective against resistant bacteria and the biofilm formation commonly observed in these wounds. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) derived from the endogenous wound healing system have been shown to combat bacterial infections, exhibit immunomodulatory effects, as well as improving wound healing.

5. 4. Functionalization of nanofibrillated cellulose with the host defense peptide KR-12

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Nanoteknologi och funktionella material

   Author : Alina Pavelescu; [2021]
   Keywords : KR-12; cellulose;

   Abstract : When the process of wound healing is disturbed, chronic wounds may develop. Chronic wounds heal very slowly over long periods of time, and require specialised care in order to prevent further infection. This causes considerable suffering to the patient and increased healthcare costs. READ MORE

6. 5. Investigation of the gene expression landscape of human skin wounds

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Yuen Ting Cheung; [2021]
   Keywords : bioinformatics; wound healing; lncRNA; long non-coding RNA;

   Abstract : Wound healing is a complex physiological process. Effective wound healing enables the skin barrier function to be restored once the skin is injured. However, due to the complex nature of wounds, the mechanisms underlying tissue repair are still poorly understood. READ MORE
