New Bioengineered Patch Makes Its Own Oxygen to Heal Wounds and Grow Tissue

Researchers have created a bioengineered patch that produces its own oxygen to accelerate wound healing and tissue growth, solving a major challenge in tissue engineering. This technology could have applications in construction-related injuries and worker health management.

Researchers from UC Riverside, and Rowan University have developed a bioengineered patch that generates its own oxygen supply, tackling one of tissue engineering’s oldest unsolved problems. The study also saw contributions from UC Berkeley, Tarleton State University in Texas, the Terasaki Institute…
