Background: Hypertrophic scars (HS) are common pathologic processes emerged during wound-healing process. The receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIP) might participate in keloid formation.

Aims: This study aimed to investigate Necrostatin-1 (Nec-1), a RIP1/RIP3 inhibitor, in the formation of hypertrophic scar.

Methods: Human hypertrophic scar fibroblasts (HSF) were extracted from patients with hypertrophic scar. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) was performed to induce wound-healing process including cell proliferation (CCK-8, Flow cytometry, and Western blot), migration (Transwell assay, Western blot), collagen production (Western blot), and extracellular matrix dysfunction (Western blotting and immunofluorescence).

Results: Our results reported that Nec-1 inhibited TGF-β1-induced cell proliferation and promoted G0/G1 phase arrest in HSF. In addition, Nec-1 attenuated TGF-β1-induced cell migration and inhibited the expression of MMP2 and MMP9 in TGF-β1-induced HSF. Besides, Nec-1 also reduced TGF-β1-induced collagen production and α-smooth muscle actin expression in HSF.

Conclusions: The present data in this study showed the potential role of Nec-1 as a novel treatment for HS.

IntroductionProlonged hyperglycemia in diabetic patients often impairs wound healing, leading to chronic infections and complications. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of fresh Tilapia fish skin as a treatment to enhance wound healing in diabetic rats. MethodsThirty-nine healthy adult albino rats, weighing between 150 and 200 g, were divided into three groups: non-diabetic rats with untreated wounds [C-], diabetic rats with untreated wounds [C+], and diabetic rats treated with fresh Tilapia skin [TT].

Background: Thyroid hormone (T3) has an inhibitory effect on tissue/organ regeneration. It is still elusive how T3 regulates this process. It is well established that the developmental effects of T3 are primarily mediated through transcriptional regulation by thyroid hormone receptors (TRs).

The management of diabetic wounds (DW) is a significant challenge within the medical field. Effectively regulating the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) at the wound site and orchestrating the inflammatory response are effective strategies for DW treatment. In this study, a novel hydrogel was developed by cross-linking polyboronic acid-modified carboxymethyl chitosan with herbal active ingredient rosmarinic acid (RA), an active herbal ingredient, through dynamic boronic esters formation.

Background: Lung cancer is a life-threatening disease that occurs worldwide, but is especially common in China. The crucial role of the tumour microenvironment (TME) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has attracted recent attention. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the main factors that contribute to the TME function, and CAF exosomes are closely linked to NSCLC.

Nanobubbles are studied for their unique properties and possible applications in wound healing processes. This study investigates the effects of hydrogen (H₂), oxygen (O₂), and ozone (O₃) nanobubbles on fibroblast migration and proliferation using  scratch wound healing assays. Fibroblast cells were treated with Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) combined with nanobubble solutions, and cell density was measured at 24 and 48 hours.
