Minimize scarring in cosmetic surgery Human skin is a complex tissue that shows properties that arise primarily from the alignment of the collagen fibers in the upper dermis layer of the skin, ultimately causing skin tension lines. These lines are essential during surgery, as they are used to guide incisions that produce the least conspicuous scars. While there are many skin tension guidelines which helps surgeons make incisions that create invisible scars, skin anisotropy or the skin's property of having directionally dependent mechanical properties. Scientists have developed a new device that could help in minimise the scarring during or after surgery by ascertaining the orientation of skin tension lines, which is very much important for wound-healing after surgery. If we make incisions across the direction that collagen is aligned, the risk of keloid scar formation is increased but when we cut along the direction of the aligned collagen then wounds heals better ...

CAN STEM CELLS HELP WITH AGING? What is aging? Aging is a natural process. Over time, the cells of the body become damaged and die gradually. Dead cells are replaced too slowly to reimburse for this loss. The signs of aging are begin to appear along with health issues like impaired hearing and vision, loss of muscle strength and bone mass, decreased immunity and cognition, and inefficient metabolism. Aging cells contribute to disease. If aging in the cells can be prevented, slowed down or reversed, many diseases could be controlled or cured. Stem cell research and advanced regenerative medicine therapies are being looked at for providing solutions to many of life’s problems. What are Stem Cells? Stem cells have the ability to change, evolve, duplicate, and adapt into other types of cells the essence of body regeneration. Stem cells have the potential to develop into many cell types in our body. They generally lie dormant in bone marrow and fat stores. MSCs are the bes...
