New approach for research on wound healing

A big part of SHoW´s biomedical team is currently working intensively on a publication summarising promising experimental results. On our blog, we would like to “catch up” and give an overview of the new approach towards wound healing that Nadja Ring, Helene Dworak, and colleagues under the lead of Mikolaj Odrodnik, have developed.

In their experimental work, SHoW´s biomedical researchers have so far demonstrated that as a result of tissue damage, the protein rpS6 is activated within minutes in a clearly defined zone surrounding a wound in the skin. Thus, the healthy cells within this area signal to the tissue that it has to react to this specific situation. This then results into wound healing processes. Our new blog post summarises these findings and also points out some parallels between biology and classical music. Read more…
