Objective: This study aims to evaluate the comparative performance of a resorbable nanofiber wound matrix (Restrata Wound Matrix; Acera Surgical Inc, St Louis, MO) and a bilayered collagen xenograft (Integra Bilayer Matrix Wound Dressing; Integra, Plainsboro, NJ) in healing critical full-thickness cutaneous wounds in a preclinical porcine model.
Materials And Methods: Full-thickness cutaneous wounds were created in Yucatan miniature swine and treated with either the nanofiber wound matrix or xenograft. Wound area was measured and inflammation and healing were assessed until euthanasia at day 15 or 30, at which time tissue samples were harvested for histopathology.
Results: Wounds treated with the nanofiber wound matrix demonstrated significantly faster wound areal reduction, less inflammation, greater neovascularization, more collagen maturation, and superior quality of healing compared with wounds treated with the xenograft.
Conclusions: The nanofiber wound matrix is an effective wound healing material that may offer a unique alternative in the treatment of challenging refractory wounds.

A meniscus injury is a common cartilage disease of the knee joint. Despite the availability of various methods for the treatment of meniscal injuries, the poor regenerative capacity of the meniscus often necessitates resection, leading to the accelerated progression of osteoarthritis. Advances in tissue engineering have introduced meniscal tissue engineering as a potential treatment option.

Chronic hard-to-heal wounds pose a significant threat to patients' health and quality of life, and their clinical management remains a challenge. Adipose-derived stem cell exosomes (ADSC-exos) have shown promising results in promoting diabetic wound healing. However, effectively enhancing the retention of exosomes in wounds for treatment remains a key issue that needs to be addressed.

Cesarean section (CS) is highly prevalent surgery among females. However, current absorbable anti-adhesion membranes used clinically can partially prevent postoperative adhesions but show limited efficacy in tissue regeneration, leaving post-cesarean women at risk for severe complications including cesarean scar pregnancy, placenta previa, and uterine rupture. Herein, we designed a fully amniotic membrane (AM)-derived biomimetic nanostructural materials (AM-BNMs) as an anti-adhesion barrier, and validated its therapeutic efficacy in a rat CS model.

Background: In the context of osteoarthritis (OA), a condition marked by joint degeneration, there is a notable absence of efficacious approaches to promote regenerative healing in chondrocytes. Novel therapeutic strategies like nanomicelles-hydrogel microspheres loaded with Astragalus polysaccharide (GelMA@APPA) offer promising avenues for promoting chondrocyte regeneration and mitigating OA progression.
Methods: Astragalus polysaccharide (APS) has been shown to induce chondrocyte proliferation and promote cartilage matrix secretion, demonstrating biological activity associated with chondrocyte regeneration.

Conventionally, the size, shape, and biomechanics of cartilages are determined by their voluminous extracellular matrix. By contrast, we found that multiple murine cartilages consist of lipid-filled cells called lipochondrocytes. Despite resembling adipocytes, lipochondrocytes were molecularly distinct and produced lipids exclusively through de novo lipogenesis.
