> Over the past eight years, scientists from Sheffield and COMSATS University Pakistan have been studying how the sugar can help to heal wounds by promoting the formation of new blood vessels. During the research, the team also noticed that hair around the healing wounds appeared to grow more quickly compared to those that hadn’t been treated.

My reaction here was, "How good was it at helping wounds heal? Why is the article talking about the seemingly less important application?". But it seems like it's a little less effective than already available angiogenic factors -- if cheaper and easier to store.
