This study revealed that the absence of histamine in histidine decarboxylase gene-knockout (HDC(-/-)) mice resulted in delayed cutaneous wound healing and that exogenously administered histamine compensated this process. With the overproduction of histamine in HDC gene-transgenic mice, the healing was accelerated compared to the ...

The authors are investigating the ability of biosynthetic epidermal growth factor (EGF) to accelerating healing of cutaneous injuries including middermal wounds and incisions. In preclinical animal studies, EGF significantly increased the rate of epiderma...

Here, we report the novel observation that natural killer T (NKT) cells contribute to the cutaneous wound repair process. Using an excisional wound model in wild-type versus NKT cell-deficient mice, this report shows that when NKT cells are absent, initial wound closure is markedly accelerated. ...

Laser assisted skin closure (LASC) has been shown to accelerate wound healing and to reduce scarring. However, the mechanisms involved during the cutaneous wound repair after LASC remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the inflammation process and the wound repair fibroplasia, ...

The cutaneous wound healing response is complex, comprising numerous overlapping events including inflammation, fibroblast migration, reepithelialization, and wound contraction. With increased age and resultant reduced systemic estrogens, these processes are disrupted and delayed healing ensues. We have demonstrated previously that the ...

The effects of different doses of whole-body x irradiation on the speed of the closing of open skin wounds and the possibility of the regeneration of skin tissue by the irradiated animal were investigated. Doses less than 300 r increase the speed of closing principally during the period of contraction. Doses of 400 r have the same effect, but the ...

Secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) and thrombospondin-2 (TSP-2) are structurally unrelated matricellular proteins that have important roles in cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions and tissue repair. SPARC-null mice exhibit accelerated wound closure, and TSP-2-null mice show an overall enhancement in wound ...

Migration inhibitory factor (MIF) responds to tissue damage and regulates inflammatory and immunological processes. To elucidate the function of MIF in cutaneous wound healing, we analyzed MIF knockout (KO) mice. After the excision of wounds from the dorsal skin of MIF KO and wild-type (WT) mice, healing was significantly delayed in ...

Innate elastase inhibitors are known to be putatively involved in the regulation of tissue inflammation by inhibiting polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) derived proteinases. The aim of this study was to evaluate affects of leukocyte elastase suppression and PMN infiltration on wound healing in mouse by administering the recombinant elastase inhibitor guamerin (rEIG) in two ...

Topical applications of anti-oxidant agents in cutaneous wounds have attracted much attention. Gold nanoparticles (AuNP), epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) were shown to have anti-oxidative effects and could be helpful in wound healing. Their effects in Hs68 and HaCaT cell proliferation and in mouse ...

Cutaneous wounds heal more slowly in elderly males than in elderly females, suggesting a role for sex hormones in the healing process. Indeed, androgen/androgen receptor (AR) signaling has been shown to inhibit cutaneous wound healing. AR is expressed in several cell types in healing skin, including keratinocytes, ...

Despite advances in wound closure techniques and devices, there is still a critical need for new methods of enhancing the healing process to achieve optimal outcomes. Recently, stem cell therapy has emerged as a new approach to accelerate wound healing. Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) hold great promise for wound ...

BackgroundTo accelerate the healing of diabetic wounds, various kinds of growth factors have been employed. It is the short half-life of administered growth factors in hostile wound beds that have limited wide-spread clinical usage. To overcome this limitation, growth factor gene therapy could be an attractive alternative rather than ...

BackgroundDespite numerous treatments available for deteriorated cutaneous wound healing such as a diabetic foot, there is still the need for more effective therapy. Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) are mesenchymal stem cells, which are self-renewing and multipotent. Mesenchymal stem cells have the potential for tissue repair and regeneration.ObjectiveTo ...

Smad3 mediates the intracellular signaling of TGF-beta1 superfamily and plays a critical role in the cellular proliferation, differentiation and elaboration of matrix pivotal to cutaneous wound healing. Smad3 antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) impregnated polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) containing chitosan and sodium alginate was prepared for ...

The effects of intrinsic aging on the cutaneous wound healing process are profound, and the resulting acute and chronic wound morbidity imposes a substantial burden on health services. We have investigated the effects of topical estrogen on cutaneous wound healing in healthy elderly men and ...

BackgroundThe management of slow or non-healing ulcerations constitutes an increasing clinical challenge in the developed world because of the ageing of the population and the pandemic rise in type II diabetes. Recent studies suggest that molecular circuitries deployed by tumor cells to promote cancerous growth may also contribute to tissue regeneration. Here, we exploited this emerging ...

We examined in vivo efficiency of a gelatin film sheet with epidermal growth factor (EGF) for a novel therapeutic device for cutaneous wound repair. NIH3T3 fibroblasts and PAM212 keratinocytes proliferated when the cells were incubated with the homogenate of EGF containing gelatin sheets, indicating that the gelatin sheet retained biologic activity of EGF ...

In current medical practice, wound therapy remains a clinical challenge and much effort has been focused on the development of novel therapeutic approaches for wound treatment. Gene therapy, initially developed for treatment of congenital defects, represents a promising option for enhancing wound repair. In order to ...
