Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked syndrome that affects skeletal and cardiac muscle and is caused by mutation of the dystrophin gene. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were generated from dermal fibroblasts by electroporation with episomal vectors containing the reprogramming factors (OCT4, SOX2, LIN28, KLF4, and l-MYC). The donor carried an out-of-frame deletion of exons 45-50 of the dystrophin gene. The established iPSC line exhibited normal morphology, expressed pluripotency markers, had normal karyotype and possessed trilineage differentiation potential.

: This study is an attempt to reveal the potential of two types of interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogels based on poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) and poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMAM). These IPNs were evaluated for their potential for dermal delivery of the hydrophobic drug dexamethasone (DEX). : The two types of IPNs were analyzed for their rheological behavior, swelling characteristics, and drug-loading capacity with DEX.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a biological treatment widely used in regenerative medicine for its restorative capacity. Although PRP is typically applied at the time of obtention, long-term storage and preservation could enhance its versatility and clinical applications. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of long-term freezing on PRP.

Background: Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that primarily affects the skin, rich in hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is a component of the extracellular matrix in the dermis and likely affects the development of CTCL, but the mechanism is poorly understood. Here we show that low-molecular-weight HA (LMWHA) possibly exacerbates CTCL, and bexarotene, already used in CTCL treatment, decreases HA production.

Diabetic foot ulcers represent a severe complication of diabetes, often resulting in amputation and high mortality rates. Currently, there are no treatments for diabetic foot ulcers other than antibiotics and dressings. In this study, we evaluated the wound-healing effects of an antidiabetic agent pinitol in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-damaged human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rat models with a foot wound.
