Neanderthals may have used prehistoric glue as an ancient antibiotic

Neanderthals may have used a sticky substance made from birch bark to treat wounds thousands of years before antibiotics existed. Researchers recreated ancient birch tar production techniques and discovered that every sample could inhibit the growth of bacteria...

Scientists may have found why diabetic wounds refuse to heal

Chronic diabetic wounds may fail to heal because immune cells remain locked in damaging inflammatory states instead of transitioning toward tissue repair. Researchers are exploring treatments that reprogram these immune responses, raising hopes for more targeted and...
8 Best Wound Care EDC Systems for Clinical Studies and PMCF in 2026

8 Best Wound Care EDC Systems for Clinical Studies and PMCF in 2026

Wound care studies strain generic EDC assumptions. Endpoints such as complete wound closure, along with early surrogates like percent area reduction (PAR) at four weeks, depend on serial measurements and photographs, and the data originate in hospital wound centers,...

FDA-approved epilepsy drug may help reverse osteoarthritis damage

Researchers at Yale have identified a promising new approach to osteoarthritis that could do more than simply ease pain. The epilepsy drug lacosamide appears to block a protein involved in both pain signaling and cartilage destruction, helping damaged joints shift...

Taking antibiotics? Sugar may be making the damage worse

Eating more sugar while taking antibiotics was linked to greater disruption of the gut microbiome and increased growth of potentially harmful bacteria. Researchers say temporarily cutting back on sweets during and after antibiotic treatment could be a simple way to...

A new way to fight gum disease without wiping out good bacteria

Scientists discovered that disrupting the chemical messages bacteria use to communicate can push dental plaque toward a healthier microbial balance. The approach could lead to new treatments for gum disease that control harmful bacteria without destroying beneficial...
