Preserving denatured dermis has been shown to promote wound healing and improve skin appearance and function. Angiogenesis is crucial for the healing of burn wounds. However, the metabolic mechanisms underlying angiogenesis during burn recovery remain unclear.

After acute burns, skin wounds are highly susceptible to infection and poor healing. However, our understanding of the effect of burn injuries on m6A methylation and their potential mechanism is still limited.

MicroRNAs have been proven to exert an essential function in repairing skin burns. This study delves into the regulatory effects of miR-24-3p on the migration and proliferation of HSFs that have sustained a thermal injury, thereby, providing deeper insight into thermal injury repair pathogenesis.

A quantitative real-time PCR was used to validate tsRNA sequencing results and their targets levels.

However, the underlying mechanism and the interaction between APEX1 and LINC00470 in melanoma are not clear. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the role of LINC00470 in the development of melanoma in this work.

Preservation of denatured dermis exerts promotive functions in wound healing and improves the appearance and function of skin. Angiogenesis is crucial for wound healing during burn injury. However, the potential molecular mechanism of angiogenesis in the recovery after burn injury remains to be elucidated.

While several types of flaps have been used in covering finger defects, all have limitations or disadvantages. The purpose of this study was to introduce our clinical experiences of using the lateral tarsal artery (LTA) flap to successfully restore fingers after electrical injury.

Methods: Twenty-five patients with large and deep skin and soft tissue defects around the knee joints were hospitalized from March 2005 to March 2014. The area of defects around the knee joints ranged from 10 cm × 8 cm to 43 cm × 23 cm.
