Salamanders can heal without scarring. A new discovery about the role their size plays in the process could lead to ways to heal burns without scars.

A species of roundworm can sense and respond to sound even though they have no ears, researchers have discovered.

Natural killer cells manage wound healing, research shows. But accelerating that process also ups the risk of bacterial infection, the study also finds.

Researchers have found a gene that's vital for healthy healing in the skin. The work could shed new light on diabetic ulcers and other non-healing wounds.

Text messages may be a good way to get younger people to remember sunscreen and avoid sunburn, researchers find. The strategy could cut skin cancer rates.

"There is a clear link between skin inflammation and changes in the gut microbiome due to food intake," researchers report.

Researchers have figured out a way to use images from a smartphone to identify potentially harmful bacteria on the skin and in the mouth.

A new discovery that skin itch mechanisms differ on hairy versus hairless skin could lead to more effective treatments for peiple who have chronic itch.

A type of fabric typically used for hiking gear could potentially lead to wearable electronics that successfully cool both the device and the wearer's skin.

Blocking a gene involved in the healing process reduced scarring in a new study with animals. The work could have implications for burn patients.
