Researchers develop new approaches to treating chronic wounds

At MHH, a Fulbright scholar is combining engineering and immunology to improve wound treatment. Chronic wounds often cause great distress to those affected, as they heal very poorly, are painful, and restrict movement. At Hannover Medical School (MHH), Fulbright scholar Samuel Sung from the USA is now spending a year researching new therapeutic approaches to improve the healing of chronic wounds in collaboration with the team of Prof. Dr. Nico Lachmann, who is part of the RESIST research group. To this end, he is combining engineering with immunology and focusing on the use of specialized immune cells. Macrophages (scavenger [...]
