Researchers at Monash University have discovered a molecule that accelerates wound healing and muscle regeneration, potentially transforming treatments for chronic wounds and reducing global healthcare costs.
Lead researcher, Associate Professor Mikaël Martino, from Monash University’s Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute in Melbourne, Australia, said the discovery “could transform regenerative medicine, because it sheds light on the crucial role of sensory neurons in orchestrating the repair and regeneration of tissues, offering promising implications for improving patient outcomes.”The cost of managing poorly healing wounds is around $250 billion a year.
The researchers discovered that – during the healing process – sensory neuron endings grow into injured skin and muscle tissues, communicating with immune cells through a neuropeptide called calcitonin gene-related peptide .“Remarkably, this neuropeptide acts on immune cells to control them, facilitating tissue healing after injury,” Associate Professor Martino said.
According to Associate Professor Martino, these findings hold significant promise for regenerative medicine, particularly for the treatment of poorly-healing tissues and chronic wounds.
