In a study published in Advanced Materials, a research team developed an innovative bacterial cellulose (BC)-based hemostatic dressing that enables rapid and sustained bleeding control.

Developed by scientists at Switzerland's Empa research institute, the experimental dressing takes the form of a thin membrane made mainly of plant-derived cellulose fibers.

The study offers the first detailed look at how our gut bacteria digest these food additives, aided by natural polysaccharides found in our diets. Many everyday foods contain cellulose-based ...
