Chronic wounds (CWs), like diabetic ulcers or pressure sores, are a major health care challenge, especially in the elderly. These wounds, marked by persistent inflammation, often lead to infection and poor patient outcomes. ...
Cancer isn't just about broken genes—it's about broken architecture. Imagine a city where roads suddenly vanish, cutting off neighborhoods from essential services. That's what happens inside cells when the 3D structure ...
