Integumentary wound healing in early fetal life is regenerative and proceeds without scar formation. Expressomic analysis of this phenomenon by differential display has previously determined that the eta subunit of the cytosolic chaperonin containing T-complex polypeptide (CCT) is downregulated in the healing fetal wound milieu. We now report that no other CCT subunit shares this distinct pattern of gene regulation as determined by limiting dilution reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR); all seven of the remaining CCT subunits demonstrate no change in messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in healing fetal wounds compared to unwounded control tissue. The alpha subunit, however, did evidence reduced message levels in healing adult wound tissue. We herein report on the cloning and sequence of the complementary DNA (cDNA) for rabbit CCT-alpha and confirm its wound specific decrease in adult tissues through quantitative real-time RT-PCR assay. We also confirm that quantitative evaluation of CCT-alpha and CCT-zeta mRNA expression shows no change in healing fetal wounds.

Background: Uterine injury can cause uterine scarring, leading to a series of complications that threaten women's health. Uterine healing is a complex process, and there are currently no effective treatments. Although our previous studies have shown that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) promote uterine damage repair, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

The blastocyst develops a unique metabolism that facilitates the creation of a specialized microenvironment at the site of implantation characterized by high levels of lactate and reduced pH. While historically perceived as a metabolic waste product, lactate serves as a signaling molecule which facilitates the invasion of surrounding tissues by cancers and promotes blood vessel formation during wound healing. However, the role of lactate in reproduction, particularly at the implantation site, is still being considered.

Human amniotic fluid stem cells (hAFSCs) have shown significant regenerative potential in treating hair loss, wound healing, and tissue repair. This study aims to evaluate the effects of human amniotic fluid (hAF) on hair follicle (HF) regeneration and immune system modulation. The hAF used was pooled, acellular, and gamma-irradiated to standardize its contents and enhance its stability.

Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is a very effective method in the treatment of dehiscent, infected, and non-healing wounds. Difficult wound healing occurs especially in late pregnancy due to the rapid enlargement of the uterus and the constantly increasing tension of the entire abdominal wall. In cases of dehiscence of the surgical wound during pregnancy, proper subsequent treatment is needed, where it is necessary to consider the safety of the mother as well as the fetus.

Iodoform, a halogenated organic compound, has been a cornerstone in surgical practice due to its potent antiseptic and antimicrobial properties. This comprehensive review examines the historical evolution, mechanism of action, clinical applications, and safety profile of iodoform across various surgical disciplines. Historically significant formulations like Whitehead's varnish and bismuth iodoform paraffin paste (BIPP) demonstrated remarkable efficacy in wound healing during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
