Article Abstract

Biological glue (bioglue) can noninvasively seal and reattach wound tissue outside the hospital, which has been extensively studied recently. Nevertheless, the commercial bioglue lacks constant oxygen supply, antioxidation, and anti-inflammation, three other key factors for bacteria-infected wound healing in plateau areas. Herein, a multifunctional bioglue (LA-DESP/ε-PLL@) is simply fabricated by encapsulating into a matrix composed of α-lipoic acid (LA), α-lipoic acid sodium (LANa), and ε-polylysine (ε-PLL). In vitro studies depicted that the LA-DESP/ε-PLL@ bioglue exhibits good adhesion, oxygen delivery, antioxidant, antibacterial, antibiofilm, and anti-inflammatory activities. Furthermore, in vivo experiments show that LA-DESP/ε-PLL@ bioglue could eradicate bacteria, reduce inflammation, and promote the healing of bacteria-infected wound. This multifunctional bioglue represents a promising concept and alternative therapeutic option for accelerating the healing of bacteria-infected wounds.

Introduction: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are increasingly prescribed for Type 2 diabetes and obesity due to their cardiometabolic benefits. However, their effects on fracture healing remain controversial. This study investigates perioperative GLP-1 RA use and outcomes following surgical treatment of lower extremity (LE) fractures.

Background: Intestinal cells receive incoming signals from neighboring cells and microbial communities. Upstream signaling pathways transduce these signals to reach transcription factors (TFs) that regulate gene expression. In inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), most single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are in non-coding genomic regions containing TF binding sites.

Regulated release of small extracellular vesicles directs neutrophil recruitment in cutaneous wound healing.

Normal cutaneous wound healing is a multicellular process that involves the release of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) that coordinate intercellular communication by delivery of sEV payloads to recipient cells. We have recently shown how the pro-reparative activity of inflammatory cell sEVs, especially macrophage and neutrophil-derived sEVs, in the wound bed is dysregulated in impaired wound healing. Here we show that loss of Rab27A, a small GTPase that has a regulatory function in sEV secretion, reduces the release of neutrophil and macrophage-derived sEVs.

Wound healing is often hindered by bacterial infection, oxidative stress, and bleeding. Traditional dressings cannot simultaneously regulate multiple microenvironments. To address the shortcomings of traditional dressings, this study constructed a dual-network photothermal responsive multifunctional hydrogel OBCTCu based on four natural ingredients, including Bletilla striata polysaccharide (BSP), chitosan (CS), tannic acid (TA), and Cu.

Conventional wound dressings primarily focus on biochemical regulation, often neglecting the potential benefits of mechanical cues in tissue regeneration. We report a Janus hydrogel (QPJ hydrogel) that synergistically integrates biochemical modulation with temperature-responsive mechanical contraction for advanced chronic wound management. The hydrogel is constructed from quaternary ammonium chitosan (QCS) and N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM), with an outer PNIPAM layer that generates a directional contractile stress >25 kPa at physiological temperature.
