Novel wound dressing derived from stinging nettles
The Chinese Scholarship Council have granted a scholarship to a PhD-student to come to Maastricht University for developing a novel wound dressing that is completely derived from the stinging nettle Urtica dioica.
This plant will provide fibers for the dressings as well as bioactive compounds to prevent infection regulate inflammation and stimulate wound healing. These novel wound dressings will be important for treatment of chronic wounds with human patients.
