Care
In this issue of BLICKWINKEL, we focus on a story that has connected humanity with insects and diseases for hundreds of years: green bottle fly larvae, which can promote wound healing. BRAIN has explored the connection and developed a biological wound management based on the Aurase® enzyme.
The number of chronic wounds is increasing on a global scale. They cause great human suffering and place a heavy burden on health care systems. At the same time there are accounts handed down for centuries of how bottle fly larvae promote wound healing. BRAIN’s research has succeeded in uniting the two sides of the story: the medical links between bottle fly larvae and wound healing have been successfully decoded and this knowledge has been transferred to gentle wound treatment products.
Microsculptures
British photographer Levon Biss succeeds in portraying the beauty and evolutionary adjustment of insects by putting innumerable close-ups of the animals together to form one huge picture.
The desperate search for innovations in wound management
The number of chronic wounds is increasing on a global scale due to the diabetes epidemic. Diabetes wounds cause great human suffering and place a heavy burden on health care systems. Specialist in internal medicine and diabetologist Dr Dieter Scholz expects new therapies to be developed for practical wound management, and believes these will come from biotechnology.
Biological wound care with the Aurase® enzyme
The combination of natural biodiversity and biotechnology opens up new prospects in wound treatment. This benefits patients, nursing staff and the health system in equal measure. Speciality enzymes point the way.
The best that bio technology and nature have to offer
Aurase® is a new enzymatic active ingredient developed by BRAIN for the biological treatment of open wounds. Blickwinkel interviewed Dr Bela Kelety and Dr Alexander Pelzer.
Tailor-made enzymes for various industries
The BRAIN Group is researching efficient enzymes for food and beverage manufacturers and for specialty applications in a variety of industries. Competences and market access have been systematically improved in recent years.
