Cutaneous wound healing is a biological process that occurs upon skin injury and involves different mechanisms to repair tissue damage. Improper healing or prolonged curation period of wound lesions may induce unpleasant complications. Cold atmospheric microwave plasma (CAMP) is an upcoming medical therapeutic option for skin infection and wound treatment. However, the molecular mechanisms of CAMP-mediated canine wound healing are not well characterized. Wound-healing activity was examined to elucidate the biological effects and molecular mechanisms of CAMP. Canine keratinocytes (CPEKs) were treated using CAMP, and their wound-healing activities were evaluated. The molecular mechanisms of that effect were examined, based on RNA-Seq analysis data, and verified using immunoblotting and polymerase chain reaction. It was found that the CAMP-treated cells exhibited a significant increase in cell migration evaluated by scratch assay in human keratinocytes (HaCaT) and canine keratinocytes (CPEK). Additionally, CAMP-treated CPEK cells showed a significant positive effect on cell invasion. The RNA-Seq data revealed that CAMP alters different genes and pathways in CPEK cells. Gene expression involved in the cell cycle, cell proliferation, angiogenesis, cell adhesion, and wound healing was upregulated in CAMP-treated cells compared with gas-activated media used as a control. The Hippo pathway was also analyzed, and the protein and mRNA levels of YAP were significantly increased in CAMP-treated cells. CAMP-treated CPEK cells indicated the downregulation of E-cadherin and upregulation of vimentin, Snail, and Slug at transcription and translation levels, contributing to a favorable effect on cell migration. Our findings suggested that CAMP treatment provided beneficial effects on the curative wound process through the induction of genes involved in wound healing, promotion of EMT, and increase in the molecular targets in the Hippo signaling pathway.

Emulsion interface engineering has been widely employed for the synthesis of nanomaterials with various morphologies. However, the instability of the liquid-liquid interface and uncertain interfacial interactions impose significant limitations on controllable fabrications. Here, we developed a liquid-nano-liquid interface-oriented anisotropic encapsulation strategy for fabricating asymmetric nanohybrids.

Identifying why complex tissue regeneration is present or absent in specific vertebrate lineages has remained elusive. One also wonders whether the isolated examples where regeneration is observed represent cases of convergent evolution or are instead the product of phylogenetic inertia from a common ancestral program. Testing alternative hypotheses to identify genetic regulation, cell states, and tissue physiology that explain how regenerative healing emerges in some species requires sampling multiple species among which there is variation in regenerative ability across a phylogenetic framework.

Purpose: Breast cancer ranks as the most prevalent cancer in women, characterized by heightened fatty acid synthesis and glycolytic activity. Fatty acid synthase (FASN) is prominently expressed in breast cancer cells, regulating fatty acid synthesis, thereby enhancing tumor growth and migration, and leading to radioresistance. This study aims to investigate how FASN inhibition affects cell proliferation, migration, and radioresistance in breast cancer, as well as the mechanisms involved.

Ankle fractures are among the most common bone injuries, which are often accompanied by soft tissue injuries. Proper management of these fractures is crucial to promote healing and minimize complications. This study explores the effects of 2 treatment methods for ankle fractures: open reduction and internal fixation and manual reduction followed by plaster external fixation.
