SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) - It’s a challenge to close large wounds from an accident, or chronic disease, like diabetes.
In today’s Medical Moment, a new gel that heals skin without a scar.
Diabetes, diseases, or burns can cause wounds that the body can’t easily heal.
But as Martie Salt reports, scientists at UCLA have developed a gel that may someday soon make injured areas of skin stronger.
The scientists have formed a company to test and develop the wound-healing gel for use in humans.
