Abstract
Wound healing is a complex biological process that is essential for restoring tissue integrity and function. This study presents an innovative injectable thermosensitive hydrogel (thermogel) formulation based on hexanoyl glycol chitosan (HGC) loaded with placental mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) secretome to enhance wound healing and tissue regeneration. The GC-based thermogel is designed to promote the delivery of bioactive factors from the MSC secretome, including cytokines and growth factors, which are critical for the healing process. The thermogel exhibits favorable physicochemical properties, including a sol-gel transition at physiological temperatures and excellent structural integrity post-injection. In vitro studies demonstrated that the secretome-loaded HGC thermogel significantly enhanced cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis. In vivo experiments further confirmed that the thermogel accelerated wound closure and re-epithelialization in a murine wound model. These findings suggest that the multifunctional properties of this HGC-based thermogel, combined with the bioactivity of MSC secretome, offer a promising therapeutic approach for enhancing wound healing and promoting tissue regeneration.
期刊介绍:
Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces is an international journal devoted to fundamental and applied research on colloid and interfacial phenomena in relation to systems of biological origin, having particular relevance to the medical, pharmaceutical, biotechnological, food and cosmetic fields.
Submissions that: (1) deal solely with biological phenomena and do not describe the physico-chemical or colloid-chemical background and/or mechanism of the phenomena, and (2) deal solely with colloid/interfacial phenomena and do not have appropriate biological content or relevance, are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
The journal publishes regular research papers, reviews, short communications and invited perspective articles, called BioInterface Perspectives. The BioInterface Perspective provide researchers the opportunity to review their own work, as well as provide insight into the work of others that inspired and influenced the author. Regular articles should have a maximum total length of 6,000 words. In addition, a (combined) maximum of 8 normal-sized figures and/or tables is allowed (so for instance 3 tables and 5 figures). For multiple-panel figures each set of two panels equates to one figure. Short communications should not exceed half of the above. It is required to give on the article cover page a short statistical summary of the article listing the total number of words and tables/figures.
