heat-induced heat shock proteins support new blood vessel formation in tissue repair models
NIR-induced heat shock proteins in a GelAlg@rGO-pEV photothermal hydrogel promoted angiogenesis and new vessel formation in diabetic wound models.
What this means for you
When heat activates heat shock proteins, the body responds by signaling for new blood vessel growth — a process called angiogenesis. Better vascular regrowth means more oxygen and nutrients reaching damaged or sluggish tissue, which is foundational to recovery, skin health, and circulation in areas that are slow to bounce back.
