Cellulose nanomaterials have received significant interest due to their superior physicochemical properties and biocompatibility. The nanomaterials-based hydrogel patches are widely explored for skin regeneration. However, the injectability and adhesiveness of the hydrogels are crucial challenges for tissue engineering applications. To overcome these, we synthesized an injectable and adhesive hydrogel of spherical nanocellulose (s-NC) reinforced carboxymethyl chitosan for rapid skin regeneration. The s-NC exhibited improved cellular activity than cellulose nanocrystals. The hydrogels exhibited adhesive and injectability potentials and were molded in the desired configurations. An enhanced conductivity was observed in s-NC added hydrogels than the pure polymer hydrogel. The skin regeneration potential of the hydrogel scaffolds was also examined in the rats using the wound healing model. The composite scaffolds also showed improved antibacterial potential. Taken together, the developed hydrogels have the potential and can be explored as a promising biomaterial for enhanced skin regeneration applications.

Ischemia and hypoxia caused by vascular injury intensify nerve damage. Skin precursor-derived Schwann cells have demonstrated an accelerated in vivo pre-vascularization of tissue-engineered nerves. Furthermore, extracellular vesicles from skin precursor-derived Schwann cells (SKP-SC-EVs) show the potential in aiding peripheral nerve regeneration.

Fibroblast-mediated oxidative stress is a pivotal factor in the pathogenesis of skin photoaging, predominantly induced by UVA radiation. Diverging from traditional strategies that concentrate on the reduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), the present study implements mitochondrial transplantation as an innovative therapeutic approach. The objective of this study is to reestablish the oxidative microenvironment and to effectively rejuvenate cellular functionality through the direct introduction of healthy and vibrant mitochondria.

Deep dermal and full-thickness burns often result in scar sequelae such as contractures, hypertrophy, pain and itching following split-thickness skin grafting. Dermal substitutes are currently employed alongside split-thickness skin grafting to enhance clinical outcomes, though their indications remain a subject of ongoing debate. This systematic review aims to clarify the indications for the application of dermal substitutes in burn patients, in both acute and reconstructive settings.

Peripheral nerve injury poses a significant challenge to the nervous system's regenerative capacity. We previously described a novel approach to construct a chitosan/silk fibroin nerve graft with skin-derived precursor-induced Schwann cells (SKP-SCs). This graft has been shown to promote sciatic nerve regeneration and functional restoration to a level comparable to that achieved by autologous nerve grafts, as evidenced by behavioral, histological, and electrophysiological assessments.
