researchers in the UK have made an intriguing breakthrough in wound healing, with burns sustained at night time taking significantly longer to get better than ones happening in the day.
The team from the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology studied 118 burns patients, finding night-time burns took on average 11 days longer to heal.
The scientists believe the difference is due to a 24-hour cycle in special skin cells called fibroblasts, which act to close wounds when they occur.
On a microscopic level the "first responder" fibroblasts were found to be more active during the day, pointing to therapies which could boost healing by targeting circadian rhythms.
