Dual-Action IgY and Cerium Oxide Nanofibrous Dressings Accelerate Scarless Healing in Infected Wound Models

Dual-Action IgY and Cerium Oxide Nanofibrous Dressings Accelerate Scarless Healing in Infected Wound Models

Researchers have developed a novel P/G@IYCe dressing combining yolk immunoglobulins and cerium oxide nanoparticles. This synergy effectively neutralizes bacterial pathogens and reactive oxygen species, facilitating rapid, high-quality skin regeneration and significantly reducing scar formation in infected full-thickness wound models.
Intimacy, Intranasal Oxytocin, and Faster Wound Healing: A Randomized Trial Linking Touch, Sex, and Neuroendocrine Recovery

Intimacy, Intranasal Oxytocin, and Faster Wound Healing: A Randomized Trial Linking Touch, Sex, and Neuroendocrine Recovery

A double‑blind RCT in 160 healthy adults found that intranasal oxytocin combined with structured positive interaction and daily physical intimacy (affectionate touch, sex) was associated with reduced cortisol and modestly faster dermatologic wound healing, with caveats on robustness and generalizability.
