How do wounds heal? Neutrons enable a discovery that reshapes our understanding of the process
Scientists have redefined how the key blood-clotting protein fibrinogen behaves when it comes in contact with air, overturning two decades of scientific consensus on wound healing. Neutron reflectometry measurements at the ILL played a key role.

Easy to digest: neutrons reveal how the human body processes plant proteins
A recently published study makes an important contribution to our understanding of the physiological processing of plant-based foods. The results of this work can be used to optimise production, improving the digestibility of plant proteins and thus the nutritional value of vegetarian and vegan dishes.
