Finite Element Analysis on the skin properties affecting wound closure
… Analysis investigation on the properties of skin that affect skin wound closure and scar formation. It begins with an in depth literature review of mammalian studies and computer simulations of skin wounds, providing a better understanding of the mechanics of skin during wound healing. …

Prolylcarboxypeptidase protects from vascular dysfunction and promotes vascular repair
… from excised aortic segments. Full thickness skin wounds from PRCPgt/gt heal slower than wildtype mice at the visual level and have decreased invasive blood vessel repair. PRCPgt/gt exhibit defective repair of large vessels as demonstrated by slow recovery from hind limb ischemia and thickened …

Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells Sense Skin Injury and Promote Wound Healing Through Type I Interferons
… complexes. pDCs are normally absent in skin but accumulate in the skin of psoriasis patients where their chronic activation to produce IFN-a/b drives the disease formation. Whether pDCs and their activation to produce IFN-a/b play a functional role in healthy skin is unknown. Here we …

The Use of Amnion in Equine Wound Healing
… of experimentally created equine distal limb wounds. Animals: Four clinically normal adult horses (3 Thoroughbred and 1 Paint, median age 11 years) obtained via donation. Procedures: One forelimb of each horse was randomly assigned to the treatment group, and the contralateral limb was …

Evaluation of Surface Acetylated Bacterial Cellulose for Antibacterial Wound Dressing Applications
Complications during the healing process of skin wounds often arise due to infection by pathogenic bacteria. Bacterial hydrolytic enzymes degrade the host tissue while biofilms can shield the bacterial cells from the host's immune response. Wound dressings with bacteriostatic or bactericidal …

Topical Antimicrobial and Bandaging Effects on Equine Distal Limb Wound Healing
… increase rates of healing of equine distal limb wounds that heal by second intention. Second, to determine the effect of bandaging with these topical antimicrobials. Six healthy adult horses were used to create thirty-six, 2.5 cm2 standardized full-thickness metacarpal/tarsal skin wounds. Each …

Success and limitations of gene therapy with growth factors to enhance cutaneous wound healing
Chronic wounds are a major source of morbidity - causing pain, suffering, and disability. One of the reasons for their abnormal healing appears to be a reduction in the availability of growth factors within chronic wounds. The application of growth factors to wounds has had only limited success in …

Determinants of work-related skin symptons and dermatitis associated with cleaning agents among health workers of two tertiary hospitals in Southern Africa
… the prevalence and risk factors for work-related skin symptoms (WRSS) and skin disease phenotypes in HWs exposed to diverse cleaning agents in two Southern African tertiary hospitals. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 697 HWs used an interviewer administered questionnaire and assessed the …

Dermal delivery of Centella asiatica using hyaluronic acid niosomal system for wound healing
Background and aims: The human skin is the primary barrier that protects internal tissues from mechanical injury, infection, extreme heat and is crucial for haemostasias. The skin is vulnerable to injury, which has many consequences for both individual patients and the healthcare economy. Skin …

Identification and characterization of epithelial progenitor niches in skin
The skin contains a highly regionalized stem and progenitor cell niche system, where a particular epithelial progenitor population primarily displays unipotent or bipotent behavior by contributing to their local niche under homeostatic conditions. Some of these populations, however, can also …

Investigating Transluminal Endothelial Bridging in a Microvessel-on-a-Chip
… higher density near the edge of non-healing wounds. Next, I undertook multipoint 3D timelapse microscopy of the microphysiological system which revealed the evolution of circumferentially orientated endothelial cell protrusions into transluminal bridges forming by partial delamination. I …
