New research shows that the gum disease bacterium P. gingivalis can slip into the bloodstream and infiltrate the heart. There, it quietly drives scar tissue buildup -- distorting the heart's ...

In mouse models, these strategies decreased scar tissue (collagen density) by up to 68%, while maintaining electrical performance, potentially improving long-term device function and biocompatibility.

Over time, scar tissue slows or stops implanted bioelectronics. But new interdisciplinary research could help pacemakers, sensors and other implantable devices keep people healthier for longer. In a ...

British scientists have used the tissue of a living human brain to mimic the early stages of Alzheimer's disease in a study which will boost the search for a cure. The team from the University of ...

Hypertrophic scar treatments include silicone gel sheets, corticosteroid lotions or injections, cryotherapy, and laser therapy. However, these scars often go away on their own without interventions.
