Modulight Spotlights: LASER-SHARP RESEARCH – May 2025
An exciting new publication from research group of Prof. Cheng-Yu Lai at Florida International University explores a solution for better wound management. Wounds compromise natural protection from the skin, exposing to excessive dehydration and microbial colonization, which can delay healing and sometimes even lead to life-threatening infections. To tackle this, photothermally controllable hydrogel was developed that could support tissue regeneration, maintain moisture levels, and prevent infection. When exposed to near-infrared irradiation from the ML6600 laser, the hydrogel was able to efficiently convert laser energy into heat. This caused complete eradication of bacteria, notably through an antibiotic-free mechanism—an important advantage in the context of rising antibiotic resistance.
Modulight is very happy to be supporting this research. We would like to deliver our warmest congratulations to the research team!
