The Breakthrough: Electrical Stitches
A team of scientists at Donghua University in China has developed a new type of stitch that harnesses the power of electricity to accelerate wound healing. The stitches are made with a specialized mechanoelectrical fiber that generates electric fields when the core and sheath layers touch and separate with movement. This electric signal has been shown to speed up healing in past research, stimulating the body's natural healing processes and promoting tissue regeneration.
