The role of Q10 engineering mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes in inhibiting ferroptosis for diabetic wound healing Burns Trauma (IF 6.3) Pub Date : 2024-11-27 Ronghua Yang, Sitong Zhou, Jie Huang, Deni Kang, Yao Chen, Xinyi Wang, Yan Shi, Zhengguang Wang
Background Ferroptosis plays an essential role in the development of diabetes and its complications, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target. Stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are increasingly being developed as nano-scale drug carriers. The aim of this study was to determine the role of ferroptosis in the pathogenesis of diabetic wound healing and evaluate the therapeutic effects

Dexmedetomidine regulates exosomal miR-29b-3p from macrophages and alleviates septic myocardial injury by promoting autophagy in cardiomyocytes via targeting glycogen synthase kinase 3β Burns Trauma (IF 6.3) Pub Date : 2024-11-05 Tianyi Yu, Hsinying Liu, Min Gao, Dan Liu, JiaQiang Wang, Jie Zhang, Jizhuang Wang, Peilang Yang, Xiong Zhang, Yan Liu
Background Our previous research suggested that dexmedetomidine (Dex) promotes autophagy in cardiomyocytes, thus safeguarding them against apoptosis during sepsis. However, the underlying mechanisms of Dex-regulated autophagy have remained elusive. This study aimed to explore the role of exosomes and how they participate in Dex-induced cardioprotection in sepsis. The underlying microRNA (miRNA) mechanisms

Polylactic acid-based dressing with oxygen generation and enzyme-like activity for accelerating both light-driven biofilm elimination and wound healing Burns Trauma (IF 6.3) Pub Date : 2024-10-25 Tianci Wen, Shilang Xiong, Huihui Zhao, Junzhe Wang, Chunming Wang, Zhisheng Long, Long Xiong, Guowen Qian
Background Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a widely used therapeutic approach for eradicating bacterial biofilms in infected wound, but its effectiveness is limited by the hypoxic environment within the biofilm. This study aimed to investigate whether the efficiency of photodynamic removing biofilm is improving by providing oxygen (O2), as well as the expression of cytokines involved in infected wound
