Article Synopsis
- Non-healing wounds lead to significant costs for the NHS, totaling over £5.6 billion annually, prompting the use of skin allografts for better infection protection.
- A study aimed to validate a new decellularisation method using Benzonase, a single enzyme, to remove DNA from donor skin, which could simplify the process compared to the current dual-enzyme approach.
- Results showed that both Benzonase and the existing method effectively removed DNA without significant differences in their performance, demonstrating Benzonase's non-toxicity and potential as a cost-effective alternative in wound treatment.
