In five to 10 years' time, healing a wound could become faster. According to scientists from NTU in Singapore, certain stem cells in our bodies produce healing agents like secretome to speed up the repair of damaged tissues. The research team discovered a way to produce higher amounts of this agent artificially in laboratory conditions.
