Regeneration, as a fascinating scientific field, refers to the ability of animals replacing lost tissue or body parts. Many metazoan organisms have been reported with the regeneration phenomena, but showing evolutionarily variable abilities. As the most diverse metazoan taxon, hundreds of insects show strong appendage regeneration ability. The regeneration process and ability are dependent on many factors, including macroscopic physiological conditions and microscopic molecular mechanisms. This article reviews research progress on the physiological conditions and internal underlying mechanisms controlling appendage regeneration in insects.

The Polar Coordinate Model (PCM) was a model, published in 1976, to account for the properties of distal regeneration in the appendages of insects and vertebrates. It had considerable impact at the time and has continued to be cited ever since. This article describes the work that led up to the model, the genesis of the model itself, its strengths and weaknesses, and its long term impact.

Burn care and treatment differ markedly from other types of wounds, as they are significantly more prone to infections and struggle to maintain fluid balance post-burn. Moreover, the limited self-healing abilities exacerbate the likelihood of scar formation, further complicating the recovery process. To tackle these issues, an asymmetric wound dressing comprising a quercetin-loaded poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) (P34HB@Qu) hydrophilic layer and a zinc oxide nanoparticle-loaded, thermally treated polyvinylidene fluoride (HPVDF@ZnO) hydrophobic layer is designed.

Tissue engineering utilizing hydrogel scaffolds in combination with exogenous stem cells holds significant potential for promoting wound regeneration. However, the microenvironment provided by existing skin tissue engineering scaffold materials is often inadequate. Herein, we demonstrate an enzyme-crosslinked hyaluronic acid hydrogel to provide a growth microenvironment for exogenous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and promote acute wound healing.

Stem cells (SCs) can self-replicate and differentiate into multiple lineages. Organoids, 3D cultures derived from SCs, can replicate the spatial structure and physiological characteristics of organs . Skin organoids can effectively simulate the physiological structure and function of skin tissue, reliably restoring the natural skin ecology in various environments.

Chronic diabetic wounds are a prevalent and severe complication of diabetes, contributing to higher rates of limb amputations and mortality. N6-methyladenosine (mA) is a common RNA modification that has been shown to regulate tissue repair and regeneration. However, whether targeting mA could effectively improve chronic diabetic wound healing remains largely unknown.
