What's New
Dr. Harold Brem and the Wound Healing Center at Columbia University in collaboration with researchers from the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) of the Weill Cornell College of Medicine have made a discovery that helps explain why chronic wounds do not heal. The researchers have discovered that skin cells become stalled in the middle of the normal healing process and cannot migrate to the site of the wound in order to fill in the gap. The research may be useful in developing new therapies that could potentially cut the chain of wound development before it becomes advanced.
