PCL-gelatin honey scaffolds promote agrA expression in biofilms with .

Introduction: Bacterial infection and biofilm formation contribute to impaired healing in chronic diabetic wounds. and are found in human diabetic wound biofilms. They may develop antibiotic resistance, increasing the urgency for alternative or complementary therapies.

Scope of practice of oculofacial plastic and reconstructive surgeons: a public perception survey.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the public's perception of the scope of practice for oculofacial plastic and reconstructive surgeons (OFPRS).

Methods: A 49-question survey was distributed by Qualtrics to a panel similar to the US demographic composition. Responses collected underwent bivariate statistical analysis.

Outcomes of Strabismus Surgery Following Teprotumumab Therapy.

Purpose: To investigate the results of patients undergoing surgical treatment for strabismic diplopia in thyroid eye disease (TED) following teprotumumab.

Design: Multicenter, retrospective, case series.

Methods: We report 28 patients who underwent extraocular muscle surgery for strabismic diplopia after treatment with teprotumumab at 7 different academic centers.

Laminin-111-Enriched Fibrin Hydrogels Enhance Functional Muscle Regeneration Following Trauma.

Volumetric muscle loss (VML) is the surgical or traumatic loss of skeletal muscle, which can cause loss of limb function or permanent disability. VML injuries overwhelms the endogenous regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle and results in poor functional healing outcomes. Currently, there are no approved tissue engineering treatments for VML injuries.

The Role of Innate and Adaptive Immune Cells in Skeletal Muscle Regeneration.

Skeletal muscle regeneration is highly dependent on the inflammatory response. A wide variety of innate and adaptive immune cells orchestrate the complex process of muscle repair. This review provides information about the various types of immune cells and biomolecules that have been shown to mediate muscle regeneration following injury and degenerative diseases.
