A team of international scientists developed a new way to treat chronic wounds that could result in the use of fewer antibiotics (Adv Funct Mater 2024 Feb 12. https://doi.org/10.1002/adfm.202314345).

The treatment, plasma-activated hydrogel therapy (PAHT), involves boosting the plasma activation of hydrogel dressings with a unique mix of different chemical oxidants that decontaminated to improve healing of chronic
