Bulk and Single-Cell Transcriptome Analyses Unravel Gene Signatures of Mitochondria-Associated Programmed Cell Death in Diabetic Foot Ulcer.

J Cell Mol Med

Mitochondrial programmed cell death (PCD) plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). In this study, we performed a comprehensive transcriptome analysis to identify potential hub genes and key cell types associated with PCD and mitochondria in DFU. Using intersection analysis of PCD- and mitochondria-related genes, we identified candidate hub genes through protein-protein interaction and random forest analysis.

Spatiotemporal single-cell roadmap of human skin wound healing.

Wound healing is vital for human health, yet the details of cellular dynamics and coordination in human wound repair remain largely unexplored. To address this, we conducted single-cell multi-omics analyses on human skin wound tissues through inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling phases of wound repair from the same individuals, monitoring the cellular and molecular dynamics of human skin wound healing at an unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution. This singular roadmap reveals the cellular architecture of the wound margin and identifies FOSL1 as a critical driver of re-epithelialization.

Background: Diabetic patients often present with complex limb pathology, resulting in impaired sensation in the distal extremities making tactile injuries such as burns difficult to notice. We posit that poorly controlled diabetes mellitus, evidenced by increasing elevations in hemoglobin A1c, is associated with delayed wound healing and increased complications in burn patients.

Methods: The TriNetX Network, a database of 89 million patients across the U.

Advances in Machine Learning-Aided Thermal Imaging for Early Detection of Diabetic Foot Ulcers: A Review.

The prevention and early warning of foot ulcers are crucial in diabetic care; however, early microvascular lesions are difficult to detect and often diagnosed at later stages, posing serious health risks. Infrared thermal imaging, as a rapid and non-contact clinical examination technology, can sensitively detect hidden neuropathy and vascular lesions for early intervention. This review provides an informative summary of the background, mechanisms, thermal image datasets, and processing techniques used in thermal imaging for warning of diabetic foot ulcers.

Background: Loss or displacement of a fat pad on the foot increases plantar pressure, leading to pain and plantar ulcers. These ulcers, especially in patients with diabetic neuropathy, have high recurrence rates, often resulting in amputations. Standard of care focuses on reducing plantar pressure with shoe padding or orthotic devices, leaving the restoration of the fat pad as an unmet medical need.
