To study the effect of porcine acellular dermal matrix (ADM) on the burn wound healing. Seventy healthy Wistar rats were inflicted with 2 cm second degree burn and divided into 2 groups; one group was treated with porcine ADM and the other with Povidone Iodine Cream. Biopsies were taken on day 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 21 for histopathological and biochemical analysis to test PCNA, K19, Integrin-β1, PDGF, EGF and FGF. The results revealed relatively better and faster regeneration after treatment of porcine ADM, along with greatly increased synthesis in collagen in the experimental group. PCNA, K19, Integrin-β1 had an increase and then tapered down, and were stronger in the experimental group than in the contrast group during 21 days after burns. PDGF, EGF and FGF levels increased on day 3, peaked on day 5 and then started to decrease, while significantly enhanced expression of relevant growth factors were observed in the experimental group. Porcine ADM stimulate collagen synthesis, stem cells proliferation and differentiation, and the expression of relevant growth factors and ultimately improve the burn wound healing.

Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is a rare bleeding disorder caused by inhibitory autoantibodies to factor (F)VIII. The goals of treatment are 2-fold, namely immunosuppressive therapy to eradicate the inhibitor and hemostatic management to control bleeding. Emicizumab, a bispecific antibody that acts as a FVIIIa-mimetic, has seen growing use in AHA following its approval for congenital hemophilia A.

Acellular Dermal Matrix (ADM) provides mechanical and soft tissue support in implant-based breast reconstruction, and has shown to modulate the healing response. However, skin flap necrosis, edema, and previous radiation therapy can hinder ADM integration. Effective biomaterial integration requires regulating the immune response, fibrosis, and adipocyte-driven functionalization.

Neuromorphic bioelectronics aim to integrate electronics with biological systems yet encounter challenges in biocompatibility, operating voltages, power consumption, and stability. This study presents biocompatible neuromorphic devices fabricated from acellular dermal matrix (ADM) derived from porcine dermis using low-temperature supercritical CO extraction. The ADM preserves the natural scaffold structure of collagen and minimizes immunogenicity by eliminating cells, fats, and noncollagenous impurities, ensuring excellent biocompatibility.

Objectives: To examine the efficacy of OviTex PRS Reinforced Tissue Matrix (Resorbable) (TELA Bio, Malvern, PA), a hybrid ovine-reinforced mesh, in comparison with STRATTICE Reconstructive Tissue Matrix (Allergan, Irvine, CA), in patients with advanced capsular contracture.

Background: radiation-induced skin injury (RISI) is a common complication of radiotherapy, affecting 85-95% of patients. Current treatments lack sufficient evidence of efficacy. Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) hydrogels have shown promise in treating chronic wounds, burns, and ulcers, but their potential in RISI remains unexplored.
