Stem cell-based mammalian embryo models facilitate the discovery of developmental mechanisms because they are more amenable to genetic and epigenetic perturbations than natural embryos. Here, we highlight exciting recent advances that have yielded a plethora of models of embryonic development. Imperfections in these models highlight gaps in our current understanding and outline future research directions, ushering in an exciting new era for embryology.

In the quest for an ideal wound healing material, human amniotic membrane (AM), tilapia skin collagen (TSC), and Centella asiatica (CA) have been studied separately for their healing potential. In this study, we formulated AM, TSC, and CA gel and studied their competency and wound healing efficacy in vivo. Gel was formulated using AM, TSC, CA, Carbopol 934, acrylic acid, glycerine, and triethanolamine and physicochemical properties e.

The rise of multidrug-resistant bacteria, such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), necessitates the development of new antibacterial therapies. Antimicrobial peptides offer a promising alternative to conventional antibiotics due to their unique mechanisms of action. Gramicidin S exhibits potent bactericidal activity against S.

Amniotic Mesenchymal Stem Cells Metabolite Products (AMSC-MP) contain growth factors that benefit human health. This study aims to evaluate the use of transfersomal serum (Trans) with hyaluronic acid (HA) addition to deliver large molecules of AMSC-MP for skin regeneration. Trans is composed of L-α-phosphatidylcholine and surfactants, i.

Background: Conditioned medium from amnion-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) enhances wound healing, a process that is further improved under hypoxic culture conditions. Diabetic foot ulcers are difficult to treat and are frequently complicated by a high rate of bacterial infections, mainly Staphylococcus aureus, which can lead to limb amputation and death. Here, we topically applied conditioned medium from AMSCs cultured under hypoxic conditions to S.

The early expectations about growth factors' (GFs') discovery as an undisputed therapeutic solution for chronic wounds progressively eclipsed when they failed to accelerate acute wound closure and restore the healing trajectory of stagnant ulcers. Critical knowledge about chronic wound biology and GF pharmacology was a conundrum at that time. Diabetes undermines keratinocytes' and fibroblasts' physiology, impairing skin healing abilities.
