In clinical practice, there is a demand for innovative wound healing methods to tackle full thickness skin injuries, especially in those with diabetes. In this study, we examined if collagen-based hydrogel from amniotic membrane (CHAM) loaded with quercetin could enhance healing in diabetic rats. Sixty diabetic rats were randomly divided into the control group, CHAM group, quercetin group, and CHAM+Quercetin group.

A woman in her 50s underwent simple limbal epithelial transplantation (SLET) in the left eye for chemical injury with total limbal stem cell deficiency. A seroma, a hitherto unreported complication of the procedure was noted on the 10th postoperative day. It was associated with an accumulation of inflammatory cells and exudates in the inferior part of the amniotic membrane resembling a hypopyon.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of placental membrane covering of the omphalocele sac on the healing of giant omphaloceles requiring silo repair that could not be treated primarily.

Methods: This prospective study was performed between October 2021 and October 2023 with the approval of our hospital's ethics committee. All pregnant women diagnosed with prenatal giant omphalocele were informed that their own placenta could be used for omphalocele repair if necessary, and their consent was obtained.

In the quest for an ideal wound healing material, human amniotic membrane (AM), tilapia skin collagen (TSC), and Centella asiatica (CA) have been studied separately for their healing potential. In this study, we formulated AM, TSC, and CA gel and studied their competency and wound healing efficacy in vivo. Gel was formulated using AM, TSC, CA, Carbopol 934, acrylic acid, glycerine, and triethanolamine and physicochemical properties e.

Alginate-Based Hydrogels with Amniotic Membrane Stem Cells for Wound Dressing Application.

Stem Cells Cloning

January 2025

Department of Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutical Technology, Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Padjadjaran, Sumedang, 45363, Indonesia.

Objective: Chronic wounds are a common clinical problem that necessitate the exploration of novel regenerative therapies. We report a method to investigate the in vitro wound healing capacity of an innovative biomaterial, which is based on amniotic membrane-derived stem cells (AMSCs) embedded in an alginate hydrogel matrix. The aim of this study was to prepare an sodium alginate-based hydrogel, cross-linked calcium chloride (CaCl with the active ingredient AMSC (AMSC/Alg-H) and to evaluate its in vitro effectiveness for wound closure.
