A closer examination of atraumatic dressings for optimal healing

International Wound Journal, Volume 12, Issue 5, Page 510-516, October 2015., 2015
Abstract The concept that undisturbed wound healing, optimised by dressing choice, improves wound outcomes has become a focal point of consideration when evaluating wound management regimens in recent years. However, little evidence exists related to wound contact layers and the potential detrimental effects of the intimate contact with the wound bed ...

When proteases reshape barriers: Basement membrane remodelling in development, wound healing and tumour progression

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 13, Page 3954-3972, July 2026.
Basement membrane (BM) homeostasis relies on a balance between integrity, controlled remodelling and pathological degradation. Increased protease expression beneath the BM, along with reduced levels of endogenous protease inhibitors, drives the transition from a continuous, protective barrier to a discontinuous interface.

From pollen provision to pollinator: Species‐specific sterol assimilation by wild bees in urban landscapes

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1906-1920, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Human‐driven landscape change, particularly urbanization, is reshaping pollinator communities, yet the functional traits that mediate species persistence remain poorly understood. Dietary specialization is commonly used to predict species vulnerability.

Recent Developments in Topical Wound Therapy: Impact of Antimicrobiological Changes and Rebalancing the Wound Milieu

BioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Wound therapy improves every year by developing new wound treatment options or by advancing already existing wound materials, for example, adding self‐releasing analgesic drugs or growth factors to wound dressings, or by binding and inactivating excessive proteases.
