Good news, best day: Your update

March 25, 2026

Hello dear Good News community,

My dog had surgery almost three years ago. I was very worried about the healing process beforehand—but everything went smoothly. No infection, no removal of stitches, because they just disappeared on their own. Simply wow. Now, U.S. researchers have developed new sutures for humans that contain anti-inflammatory medication to promote healing. More on that in today’s edition!

Enjoy reading, Selina
