The great interest in creating skin substitutes still faces challenges considering its structural and cellular complexity. Despite significant advancements, the lack of reproducible protocols and different translational barriers limit the clinical applicability of current methods. This review aims to provide guidance for future studies and improve methodological replication on wound repair and regeneration. Following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, a search was conducted on MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science. Inclusion criteria focused on 3D bioprinter constructs with human keratinocytes and fibroblasts for wound healing. Authors screened titles and abstracts, followed by full-text documents. Data extraction was conducted and cross-checked by two others using customised table sheets. Eighteen studies met the inclusion criteria, primarily focusing on skin substitutes, with no studies found on oral mucosal models. Geographic distribution was predominantly China (44.4%) and the United States (27.7%), with notable international collaborations. Most studies used extrusion-based bioprinting, with gelatin-based hydrogels as the most frequent components in the bioinks (61.6%). Other common materials included fibrinogen (38.8%) and alginate (33.3%), while some studies incorporated human serum and silk to enhance functionality. Constructed skin substitutes included epidermal layers with keratinocytes and dermal layers with fibroblasts, with some incorporating endothelial and follicle papilla cells for added complexity. Analyses included morphology, cell viability, histology, proliferation, protein and gene expression, and transepidermal electrical resistance. Many studies (61.1%) validated results through animal model implantation, primarily in mice. This review underscores the global interest and collaborative efforts in 3D bioprinting for skin wound healing and regeneration. However, we also emphasise the need for standardised protocols to improve replicability and enhance translational potential for clinical applications. Belike, future studies using computational modelling or machine learning should refine these technologies.</p>","PeriodicalId":23864,"journal":{"name":"Wound Repair and Regeneration","volume":"33 4","pages":"e70056"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144529866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conventional treatments have limited efficacy. The non-invasive use of low-dose light treatments, termed photobiomodulation (PBM), has shown therapeutic benefits in diabetic patients. This study aimed to explore the response of endothelial cells to PBM treatment under hyperglycemic conditions in vitro. The major goal was to gain mechanistic insights into the biological effects of low-dose light, with the aim of optimising clinical treatment strategies. Therefore, human umbilical vein endothelial cells were exposed to hyperglycemic conditions (150-300 mM glucose) and incubated at 37°C with 5% CO₂ for 24 h. The cells were then treated with low-dose light (660 nm, CW, 10 mW/cm², 200 s and 0.84 Einstein). Cell responses were assessed through key signalling pathways, evaluating proliferation using the AlamarBlue assay, migration through the wound scratch assay and angiogenesis via the tubulogenesis assay, with assessments after 24 or 48 h. Data were analysed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post-test. Data showed that PBM treatments performed under controlled thermal conditions significantly improved endothelial cell proliferation, migration and tubulogenesis under hyperglycemic conditions. Crosstalk among platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β1) signalling modulated these critical responses involving matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-2 and 9) activity. These findings showed that PBM treatments exert positive endothelial cell responses under hyperglycemic conditions that could contribute to improved diabetic wound healing. These observations provide mechanistic insights into enabling PBM as a novel and adjacent therapy for diabetic wound management.</p>","PeriodicalId":23864,"journal":{"name":"Wound Repair and Regeneration","volume":"33 4","pages":"e70068"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144691755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To investigate how patients' genetically regulated tissue expression may influence chronic wound bacterial composition, we performed a microbiome-transcriptome-wide association study. This approach involved estimating for 509 patients their tissue-specific gene expression from DNA genotypes, followed by associating gene expression to the relative abundances of species detected in their wounds as provided on clinical reports to the physician. Comparisons to artery, blood, fibroblast, skeletal muscle, skin, subcutaneous fat, and nerve tissue resulted in 251 transcriptional differences at 109 genes significantly explaining abundances of 39 different species. Overall, these species were detected in ~63% of wounds. A similar number of associations per tissue was observed (range 31-39), and many genes were associated at multiple tissues in distinct ways. The cumulative variance across loci for species relative abundance explained ranged from ~5%-36%, depending on species. Although the same gene was almost never associated with more than one species, ~14% of enriched pathways were independently enriched for multiple species, which may reflect the diversity of ways microbes interact with partially overlapping attributes of the wound bed. Commonly enriched pathways pertained to collagen formation and modification, cell signalling, cytoskeletal dynamics, interactions with extracellular matrix, transmembrane proteins, amongst others.

Moreover, there exist notable disparities across different regions or nations. The burden of PU was notably higher in elderly females, though the increase among the elderly males was also significant. Projections for 2022-2031 indicate a slight decrease in both ASIR and ASMR, while ASDR is expected to rise. While PU incidence remains high, disparities persist, especially in low-SDI regions.

Sixty DFU patients meeting the inclusion criteria were divided into the control group (n = 36) and the PRF group (n = 24) after receiving basic treatment. Baseline clinical characteristics and healing progress were analysed between groups. The correlation between miR-155 levels in wound margin tissues and baseline clinical data were analysed, and the independent influencing factors of wound healing were explored by COX regression analysis. The effect of PRF on the miR-155, hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and vascular density in the wound margin tissue was measured. Elevated miR-155 expression was observed in DFU compared to non-diabetic wounds. The miR-155 levels were positively associated with Wagner grading (R = 0.578). Accelerated wound healing was demonstrated in the PRF group versus controls via Kaplan-Meier analysis. Multivariate Cox regression found that miR-155 (HR = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.79-0.97) and PRF intervention (HR = 3.21, 95% CI: 1.70-6.06) were statistically significant for wound healing time.
