Despite important advances in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, still, wound healing remains a challenging clinical problem. Cell therapy has opened a new viewpoint in medicine as well as wound management, although it has some limitations. On the other hand, there are some hopes for the eliminated of cellular therapies limitations by "exosomes." The term "exosome" has been frequently used to describe all vesicles released by different cells into the extracellular environment and can influence tissue responses to injury, infection, immune system, and healing. Exosomes contain cytokines and growth factors, signaling lipids, mRNAs, and regulatory miRNAs that have been found in some body fluids and can be transferred between cells to mediating cell-to-cell communication and interactions. Recently, several studies have demonstrated that exosomes are one of the key secretory products of various cell type especially mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to regulate many biological processes such wound healing. Hence, understanding these exosomes effects may help to improve wound management and highlight a new therapeutic model for cell-free therapies with decreased side effects for the wound repair.

Exosomes are nanoscale extracellular vesicles with various biological activities that can accelerate wound healing by regulating inflammatory responses, promoting cell proliferation and angiogenesis, and other mechanisms. Among them, plant and animal exosomes have demonstrated unique advantages due to their biological characteristics. Plant exosomes have gradually become a research hotspot due to their wide source, high biosafety, and low production cost, demonstrating significant pro-healing potential.

Encapsulating fibroblasts in alginate hydrogels is a promising strategy to promote wound healing. However, improving the cell function within the alginate matrix remains a challenge. In this study, we engineer an injectable hydrogel through mixing alginate function with collagen and fibronectin, creating a better microenvironment for enhancing fibroblast function and cytokine secretion.

Wound Healing Splinting Devices for Faster Access and Use.

March 2025

Department of Biomedical Engineering, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, USA.

With the goal of studying skin wound healing and testing new drug treatments to enhance wound healing in rodent models, there is a clear need for improved splinting techniques to increase surgical efficiency and support routine wound monitoring. Splinted wound healing models humanize wound healing in rodents to prevent contraction and instead heal through granulation tissue deposition, increasing the relevance to human wound healing. Current technologies require suturing and heavy wrapping, leading to splint failure and cumbersome monitoring of the wound.
