Wound healing is a complex biological process involving multiple steps, including hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. A novel form of regulated cell death, ferroptosis, has garnered attention because of its involvement in these processes. Ferroptosis is characterized by the accumulation of lipid peroxides and is tightly regulated by lipid metabolism, iron metabolism, and the lipid-peroxide repair network, all of which exert a significant influence on wound healing. This review highlights the current findings and emerging concepts regarding the multifaceted roles of ferroptosis throughout the stages of normal and chronic wound healing. Additionally, the potential of targeted interventions aimed at modulating ferroptosis to improve wound-healing outcomes is discussed.

Diabetic wounds present a significant challenge in clinical treatment and are characterized by chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, impaired angiogenesis, peripheral neuropathy, and a heightened risk of infection during the healing process. By creating small channels in the surface of the skin, microneedle technology offers a minimally invasive and efficient approach for drug delivery and treatment. This article begins by outlining the biological foundation of normal skin wound healing and the unique pathophysiological mechanisms of diabetic wounds. It then delves into the various types, materials, and preparation processes of microneedles. The focus is on the application of multifunctional microneedles in diabetic wound treatment, highlighting their antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, angiogenic and neural repair properties. These multifunctional microneedles demonstrate synergistic therapeutic effects by directly influencing the wound microenvironment, ultimately accelerating the healing of diabetic wounds. The advancement of microneedle technology not only holds promise for enhancing the treatment outcomes of diabetic wounds but also offers new strategies for addressing other chronic wounds.

The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin and acts as the primary barrier to protect the body. Dendritic epidermal T cells (DETCs), which are specifically distributed in epidermal tissues, play a crucial role in skin immune surveillance and wound healing. DETCs are one of the most important components of the epidermis and exert a steady-state monitoring function, facilitating wound healing and tissue regeneration after skin injury. Skin wounds are often linked to other pathological conditions such as ageing, ultraviolet radiation, and metabolic diseases such as diabetes mellitus and obesity. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate how DETCs regulate themselves and the external environment during these pathological states. DETCs interact closely with keratinocytes in the epidermis, and this intercellular interaction may be essential for maintaining health and integrity. In this review, we focus on the characteristics and underlying mechanisms of DETCs in maintaining epidermal homeostasis and re-epithelialization in different pathological states.
表皮是皮肤的最外层,是保护身体的主要屏障。树突状表皮T细胞(Dendritic epidermal T cells, DETCs)特异分布于表皮组织,在皮肤免疫监测和创面愈合中起着至关重要的作用。detc是表皮最重要的成分之一,发挥稳态监测功能,促进皮肤损伤后伤口愈合和组织再生。皮肤伤口通常与其他病理状况有关,如衰老、紫外线辐射和代谢疾病,如糖尿病和肥胖。因此,研究detc在这些病理状态下如何调节自身和外部环境是至关重要的。detc与表皮中的角质形成细胞密切相互作用,这种细胞间相互作用可能对维持健康和完整性至关重要。本文就detc在不同病理状态下维持表皮稳态和再上皮化的作用特点及机制进行综述。

The engineered extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from pluripotent stem cells are a new concept in regenerative medicine. These vesicles are secreted from the embryonic stem cells as well as the induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and are involved in the transfer of bioactive molecules required for cell signaling. This review describes the possibilities for their use in the modification of therapeutic approaches in regenerative medicine and targeted therapies. Pluripotent stem cells can differentiate into various cell types which can be useful for tissue engineering or to generate models of diseases in a dish. Compared to cell therapies, engineered EVs are characterized by lower immunogenicity, higher targetability, and improved stability. Some of the applications are angiogenic, tissue restorative, immunomodulatory, and gene therapies for the treatment of certain diseases. iPSC-derived engineered EVs find application in regenerative medicine, drug delivery systems, diagnostics of diseases, and hydrogel systems. In regenerative medicine, they can promote the restoration of cardiac, bone, cartilage, and corneal tissues. Engineered EVs are also employed in drug targeting to particular sites as well as in the diagnosis of diseases based on biomarkers and improving image contrast. Hydrogels that contain EVs provide a depot-based delivery system to slowly release drugs in a controlled manner which enhances tissue repair. Thus, the results described above demonstrate the potential of engineered PSC-EVs for various biomedical applications. Future work will be directed toward expanding the knowledge of engineered PSC-EVs and their possibilities to create new therapeutic approaches based on the functions of these vesicles.

Background Peripheral nerves are easily damaged in accidental trauma due to their shallow location. Compared to the limited regeneration of the central nerve, the peripheral nerve has a certain regenerative ability after injury. However, this ability is not sufficient to achieve functional recovery. To increase the rate of regeneration after nerve injury, increasing regeneration-associated genes (RAGs) expression by transcription factors in neurons is necessary. Methods Sciatic nerve crush (SNC) animal models were generated in Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats. Bioinformatics analysis and real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) were applied to detect genes expression; immunofluorescence staining and western blotting were applied to detect protein expression. The neurites outgrowth of cultured DRG neurons was performed to evaluate axon regeneration in vitro. Intrathecal injection of adeno-associated virus (AAV) was applied to suppress or overexpress the target in vivo. Following transfection, immunofluorescence staining of newborn axons’ marker (SCG10) in sciatic nerve after crush was used to evaluate the function of AT-rich interaction domain 5A (Arid5a) or docking protein 6 (Dok6) on axon regeneration. The binding between TF and the promoter of target genes was verified by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). Result has high activity in specific regenerating clusters and it accumulates specifically in the nucleus of DRG neurons after sciatic nerve injury. Upon Arid5a inhibition by siRNA, the outgrowth of neurites in vitro and the regeneration of axons in vivo were inhibited. In contrast, after Arid5a overexpression in rats, axon regeneration was significantly accelerated. In addition, Arid5a promotes the expression of Dok6 by binding to its promoter in DRG neurons. Suppression of Dok6 represses the neurites outgrowth of cultured DRG neurons, while its overexpression enhances axon regeneration in vivo. Furthermore, overexpression of Dok6 restored the impaired effect of Arid5a suppression on axon regeneration. Conclusions These findings indicate that axonal injury induced nucleus accumulation of Arid5a in neurons. Through Dok6, Arid5a accelerates axon regeneration of DRG neurons both in vitro and in vivo. This study enriched our understanding the function of Arid5a in the peripheral nervous system and the transcriptional regulatory network involved in neural regeneration.

In recent years, with the increasing volume of related research, it has become apparent that the liver and gut play important roles in the pathogenesis of neurological disorders. Considering the interactions among the brain, liver, and gut, the brain–liver–gut axis has been proposed and gradually recognized. In this article, we summarized the complex network of interactions within the brain–liver–gut axis, encompassing the vagus nerve, barrier permeability, immunity and inflammation, the blood–brain barrier, gut microbial metabolites, the gut barrier, neurotoxic metabolites, and beta-amyloid (Aβ) metabolism. We also elaborated on the impact of the brain–liver–gut axis on various neurological disorders. Furthermore, we outline several therapies aimed at modulating the brain–liver–gut axis, including antibiotics, probiotics and prebiotics, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), and dietary interventions. The focus is on elucidating possible mechanisms underlying neurological disorders pathogenesis and identifying effective treatments that are based on our understanding of the brain–liver–gut axis.

Severe trauma is often complicated by subsequent infection and organ dysfunction, with sepsis being a major mortality risk factor. Factors such as barrier destruction, wound contamination, invasive procedures, injury severity, and shock were traditionally considered primary predisposing elements for post-trauma sepsis. However, recent advances in stress biology have revealed a more nuanced understanding of the body's response to trauma. Organisms have evolved adaptive responses to various noxious stimuli that follow a biphasic pattern: Low to moderate stress levels can increase resilience, while overwhelming insults, both acute and chronic, overstrain the body’s coping mechanisms and are known as allostatic overload, hallmarked by maladaptive responses. An illustrative example of this concept is the body's response to iron ion exposure following trauma, transfusion, or haemolysis. Iron ions, at low levels, induce adaptive Nrf2-dependent responses, such as haem oxygenase gene expression. However, high concentrations or prolonged exposure can lead to cellular damage and organ failure, e.g. through the production of highly reactive free radicals. This biphasic pattern highlights the complex interplay between protective and harmful responses in post-trauma physiology. Whereas tools such as the SOFA score allow to measure severity of organ dysfunction, no metrics for quantifying the intensity of "stress" over time are available. As cumulative stress is a crucial outcome-associated factor in trauma care, the development of adequate indicators could significantly enhance our understanding and management of post-trauma complications, arising from secondary surgical interventions, transfusion management or metabolic derangements. This evolving perspective on stress biology in the severely injured host underscores the need for a more comprehensive approach to patient assessment and treatment in critical care settings, to identify and to decrease stress load with the aim to prevent life-threatening complications, such as sepsis, and ultimately improve outcomes.

Diabetes mellitus, a pervasive chronic metabolic disorder, is often associated with complications such as impaired wound healing. Various factors, most notably vascular deficiency, govern the wound repair process in diabetic patients, significantly impeding diabetic wound healing; therefore, angiogenesis and its role in diabetic wound repair have emerged as important areas of research. This review aims to delve into the mechanisms of angiogenesis, the effects of diabetes on angiogenesis, and the association between angiogenesis and diabetic wound repair. This will ultimately offer valuable guidance regarding the ideal timing of diabetic wound treatment in a clinical setting.
