Biological dressings composed of multi-components including extracellular matrix (ECM) materials and therapeutic agents for facilitating wound healing have been actively reported. To improve the wound healing ability of chitosan dressing, sol-gel derived silica was incorporated with chitosan and this chitosan-silica hybrid dressing was combined with keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) in this study. Such hybrid dressing showed higher efficacy of KGF adsorption than pure chitosan dressing due to its porous structure and hydrophilic character. The hybrid dressing showed sustainable release profile for KGF. The delivered-KGF improved keratinocyte activities such as attachment and proliferation. In vivo animal test using excisional wound model revealed that such dressing could facilitate skin regeneration. However, the tissue regeneration process was different depending on combinatorial components in the dressing. Chitosan dressing incorporated with KGF improved the wound healing process compared to chitosan dressing without KGF. The chitosan-silica hybrid dressing combined with KGF showed the best wound healing process.

Emulsion interface engineering has been widely employed for the synthesis of nanomaterials with various morphologies. However, the instability of the liquid-liquid interface and uncertain interfacial interactions impose significant limitations on controllable fabrications. Here, we developed a liquid-nano-liquid interface-oriented anisotropic encapsulation strategy for fabricating asymmetric nanohybrids.

Identifying why complex tissue regeneration is present or absent in specific vertebrate lineages has remained elusive. One also wonders whether the isolated examples where regeneration is observed represent cases of convergent evolution or are instead the product of phylogenetic inertia from a common ancestral program. Testing alternative hypotheses to identify genetic regulation, cell states, and tissue physiology that explain how regenerative healing emerges in some species requires sampling multiple species among which there is variation in regenerative ability across a phylogenetic framework.

Purpose: Breast cancer ranks as the most prevalent cancer in women, characterized by heightened fatty acid synthesis and glycolytic activity. Fatty acid synthase (FASN) is prominently expressed in breast cancer cells, regulating fatty acid synthesis, thereby enhancing tumor growth and migration, and leading to radioresistance. This study aims to investigate how FASN inhibition affects cell proliferation, migration, and radioresistance in breast cancer, as well as the mechanisms involved.

Ankle fractures are among the most common bone injuries, which are often accompanied by soft tissue injuries. Proper management of these fractures is crucial to promote healing and minimize complications. This study explores the effects of 2 treatment methods for ankle fractures: open reduction and internal fixation and manual reduction followed by plaster external fixation.
