In general, enzymatic and mechanical SVF isolation procedures yield comparable outcomes concerning cell yield (2.3-18.0 × 10<sup>5</sup> resp. 0.03-26.7 × 10<sup>5</sup> cells/ml), and cell viability (70%-99% resp. 46%-97.5%), while mechanical procedures are less time consuming (8-20 min vs. 50-210 min) and cost-efficient. However, as most studies used poorly validated outcome measures on SVF characterisation, it still remains unclear which intraoperative SVF isolation method is preferred.

Skin wounds in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice were topically treated with HT. Some diabetic animals were fed with a diet rich in EVOO. Wounds were harvested 7 days later. In in vitro assays, fibroblasts and macrophages were treated with high levels of glucose and HT. The EVOO or HT promoted wound closure and collagen deposition in diabetic mouse wounds. The EVOO or HT reduced the number of infiltrated neutrophils, tumour necrosis factor-α, lipid peroxidation, and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 in diabetic mouse wounds. The EVOO or HT also increased the number of macrophages with anti-inflammatory phenotype and interleukin-10 in diabetic mouse wounds. In the in vitro assays, HT promoted the fibroblast migration, collagen gel contraction, and switched macrophages to an anti-inflammatory phenotype under high glucose conditions.

Burns and adjacent normal skin in 11 patients with thermal injuries were imaged with visual and narrow bands centred at 1200, 1650, 1940 and 2250 nm and biopsies were taken from select areas. Reflectance intensities for each band in 273 regions of interest (ROI) were divided by the normal skin reflectance and combined into three Reflectance Indices (RIs). In addition, burns in ROIs and biopsies were classified by five surgeons and three pathologists, respectively, as superficial partial, deep partial, or full thickness. Results show that for burn depth increase classified by the surgeons, reflectance increased at 1200 and 2250, decreased at 1940, and didn't change at 1650 nm. In contrast, all three RIs increase with burn depth and predict the deep and full depths ROIs representing operable regions (Area Under Curve >0.6507, p < 0.0001).

They are associated with bacterial infections, tissue hypoxia, local ischemia, reduced vascularization and MMP-9 upregulation. The global prevalence of chronic wounds has been estimated at 40 million in the adult population, with an alarming annual growth rate of 6.6%, making it an increasingly significant clinical problem. Sericin is a natural hydrophilic protein obtained from the silkworm cocoon. Due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-immunogenicity and oxidation resistance, coupled with its excellent affinity for target biomolecules, it holds great potential in wound healing applications. The silk industry discards 50,000 tonnes of sericin annually, making it a readily available material. Sericin increases cell union sites and promotes cell proliferation in fibroblasts and keratinocytes, thanks to its cytoprotective and mitogenic effects. Additionally, it stimulates macrophages to release more therapeutic cytokines, thus improving vascularization. This review focuses on the biological properties of sericin that contribute towards enhanced wound healing process and its mechanism of interaction with important biological targets involved in wound healing.

Patient co-morbidities and wound healing outcome at 3-months post-sample collection was recorded. Debrided slough was analysed microscopically, through untargeted proteomics, and high-throughput bacterial 16S-ribosomal gene sequencing. Microscopic imaging revealed wound slough to be amorphous in structure and highly variable. 16S-profiling found slough microbial communities to associate with wound aetiology and location on the body. Across all subjects, slough largely consisted of proteins involved in skin structure and formation, blood-clot formation and immune processes. To predict variables associated with wound healing, protein, microbial and clinical datasets were integrated into a supervised discriminant analysis. This analysis revealed that healing wounds were enriched for proteins involved in skin barrier development and negative regulation of immune responses. While wounds that deteriorated over time started off with a higher baseline Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Score and were enriched for anaerobic bacterial taxa and chronic inflammatory proteins. To our knowledge, this is the first study to integrate clinical, microbiome, and proteomic data to systematically characterise wound slough and integrate it into a single assessment to predict wound healing outcome.
