Article Abstract

Burn injuries remain a complex clinical challenge, particularly in reconstructive settings where donor sites are limited. Integra Dermal Regeneration Template (IDRT), a bilayer dermal substitute, facilitates neodermis formation and supports functional and aesthetic recovery following burn trauma. This narrative review and expert opinion synthesizes current literature and clinical experience on the application of IDRT in post-burn reconstruction. It discusses the biological mechanism of dermal regeneration, surgical protocols including wound bed preparation and grafting, and considerations for anatomical regions such as the face, torso, and limbs. The review emphasizes key factors influencing successful outcomes, including patient selection, timing, and multidisciplinary coordination. Potential complications, such as infection, hematoma, and poor graft adherence, are addressed along with prevention and management strategies. Special considerations for pediatric and elderly populations are also highlighted. Through evidence-based insights and illustrative case examples, this review aims to inform surgical decision-making and promote best practices in reconstructive burn care using IDRT.

Severe scarring is an inevitable consequence of large full-thickness skin wounds, often leading to long-term complications that affect patients' well-being and necessitate extended medical interventions. While autologous split-thickness skin grafts remain the clinical standard for wound treatment, they frequently result in contractures, excessive scarring, and the need for additional corrective procedures. To address these challenges, bioengineered skin substitutes capable of promoting efficient healing while reducing complications are highly desirable.

Background: Critical size bone defects represent a clinical challenge, associated with considerable morbidity, and frequently trigger the requirement of secondary procedure. To fill osseous gaps, multiple steps are required, such as proliferation and differentiation on the cellular level and the building of extracellular matrix. In addition, the osteogenic potential of cell-derived extracellular matrices (CD-ECM) is known to enhance bone healing.

Hypertrophic scarring (HTS) remains a critical challenge in burn care, often resulting in debilitating contractures, chronic pain, and significant psychosocial burden. While current treatment emphasizes structural repair, recent advances underscore the importance of addressing the biological drivers of fibrosis. This review synthesizes evolving strategies in burn scar prevention, highlighting tissue-engineered matrices, autologous cell therapies, and predictive molecular tools that shift care from reactive to regenerative.

Objective: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a prevalent chronic pulmonary disorder predominantly affecting preterm infants, is characterized by impaired lung development and persistent inflammatory-mediated lung injury. Dermal fibroblast-derived exosomes (DF-Exos) have been demonstrated to alleviate inflammation and promote epithelial tissue repair; however, their role in lung injury remains to be elucidated. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of DF-Exos on BPD and explore their relationship with autophagy.

Background: The present study investigates the relationship between alopecia areata (AA) and intestinal microecology, examining the effect of microneedling on the microecology of alopecia areata.

Methods: An animal model of AA was established using imiquimod-induced C3H/HeJ mice. Halometasone was applied topically every 2 days for 2 weeks after a hand-held dermal microneedling treatment.
