Adipose derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ADSCs) represent a fascinating tool in the scenario of wound healing and regenerative medicine. Recent data already demonstrated that ADSCs could exert a stimulatory action on epithelial cells through secretion of soluble factors. The aim of the present study was to assess how ADSCs guide wound re-epithelization in vitro in the presence of keratinocytes. We used an organotypic model of wound healing and we seeded keratinocytes on a ADSC-induced dermal matrix. Conventional hematoxylin-eosin stain and immunohistochemistry staining for Ki67, p63 and pan-keratins were performed at different timepoints. Histological sections of organotypic cultures showed complete coverage of the ADSC-induced matrix by keratinocytes. Proliferation of basal stem cells was found to be the main mechanism responsible for epithelization of the dermis. In conclusion, ADSC do not only stimulate dermal regeneration through collagen deposition but also promote epithelization. HIGHLIGHTS: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are widely used in regenerative medicine and wound healing. MSCs do not only stimulate dermal regeneration through collagen deposition but also promote epithelization. MSCs directly target the basal stem cell niche and promote its proliferation, migration and subsequent differentiation.

Diabetic wounds are complicated by underlying peripheral vasculopathy. Reliance on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy to improve perfusion makes logical sense, yet clinical study outcomes on rescuing diabetic wound vascularization have yielded disappointing results. Our previous work has identified that low endothelial phospholipase Cγ2 (PLCγ2) expression hinders the therapeutic effect of VEGF on the diabetic ischemic limb.

Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) has a high incidence rate and poor prognosis, and currently lacks effective therapies. Recently, peptide-based drugs have shown promise in cancer treatment. In this research, a new endogenous peptide called CBDP1 was discovered in ccRCC and its potential anti-cancer properties were examined.

Background: Exosomes derived from cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) can affect tumor microenvironment (TME) of thyroid cancer (TC). The cAMP response element binding protein 1 (CREB1) acts as a transcription factor to participate in cancer development. Currently, we aimed to explore the molecular mechanism of exosome-associated CREB1 and C-C motif chemokine ligand 20 (CCL20) in TC.

Burn-related neuropathic pain (BRNP) can arise following burn-induced nerve damage, affects approximately 6% of burned human patients and can result in chronic pain. Although widely studied in humans, data on BRNP or its treatment in animals is lacking. A 4-year-old domestic shorthair cat was presented with an infected, non-healing wound suspected to be a caustic burn.

Autologous or allogeneic platelet-derived extracellular vesicles (pEVs) show potential in enhancing tissue recovery and healing chronic wounds. pEVs promote neovascularization and cell migration while reducing inflammation, oxidative stress, and scarring. However, their efficacy in clinical settings is challenged by their susceptibility to washout by wound exudate.
