Despite major advances in medicine, wound care has changed little in a century. This research explores how natural electrical signals in injured skin guide healing. By developing devices that mimic these signals, scientists aim to accelerate recovery and improve treatment for chronic wounds through bioelectric control of cellular behaviour.

This research investigates how calpain, a protein that regulates cell movement, contributes to breast cancer metastasis. By disrupting calpain in tumor cells, researchers show reduced spread to the lungs in mouse models. Targeting calpain may improve combination therapies and offer new treatment strategies for metastatic breast cancer patients.
