Researchers have developed a theoretical model to understand cellular communication and movement. Their latest findings could have significant implications for wound healing, with early computer simulations showing promise for improving the flow of information to accelerate healing. applications for wound healing.

Like us, cells communicate. Well, in their own special way. Using waves as their common language, cells tell one another where and when to move. They talk, they share information, and they work together – much like the interdisciplinary team of researchers from the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) and the National University of Singapore (NUS). They conducted research on how cells communicate – and how that matters to future projects, e.g. application to wound healing.
