Dissolving microneedle (DMN) patches offer a novel, minimally invasive and potentially painless alternative for drug delivery. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of 5-FU DMN patches with intralesional 5-FU injections for the treatment of keloid scars. A total of 37 patients were enrolled in this randomised, single-blind clinical trial. Each scar was split in half, with one half treated weekly using 5-FU DMN patches for 12 weeks and the other half receiving monthly intralesional 5-FU injections over the same period. Outcomes were assessed using the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) and scar volume measurements via multispectral imaging at baseline and Weeks 4, 8, 12 and 24. Both treatments significantly improved POSAS scores and reduced keloid volume over time. Intralesional injections resulted in a faster response and significantly greater volume reduction at Week 12 (p = 0.008), but by Week 24, no significant difference in efficacy was observed between the two methods. DMN patches were associated with significantly less pain and better patient comfort. These findings support the use of 5-FU DMN patches as a minimally invasive, patient-friendly alternative to injections for the long-term management of keloid scars.</p>","PeriodicalId":23864,"journal":{"name":"Wound Repair and Regeneration","volume":"33 4","pages":"e70078"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144800425","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}

Advanced molecular profiling, such as bulk RNA-sequencing, provides more detail; however, these methods lose spatial context. Spatial transcriptomics allows gene transcripts to be mapped to tissue locations, revealing the molecular pathways activated in the burn tissue microenvironment, where the depth of injury guides prognosis. This work demonstrates the capability of spatial transcriptomics to detect spatial gene expression patterns in burn tissue. Specifically, we show that (i) spatially variable expressed genes are distinct across different burn depth regions, which would not be identified with bulk RNA-sequencing, (ii) transcriptionally distinct burn tissue regions are defined by gene signatures associated with diverse cell types and biological pathways, and (iii) these spatial gene signatures are identified in a subset of previously published bulk samples, suggesting their potential application in large-scale and integrated studies. Caveats of this technology in burn tissue are provided to guide future research.

The M2 derived secretome was harvested from GM-CSF differentiated THP-1 cells followed by IL4-induced M2 polarisation with or without prior endotoxin tolerization. The protein constituents of the secretome were determined and quantified using label free LC-MS/MS analysis and cytokine levels using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. The efficacy of the M2 derived secretome (with and without prior tolerization) to stimulate fibroblast activity was assessed in vitro (scratch assay) and in vivo (murine full thickness wound model). In culture, the secretome (regardless of tolerization) stimulated fibroblast migration and increased the release of hydroxyproline, which is an essential requirement for collagen synthesis. Similarly, in full thickness excisional wounds, a single application of the M2 monocytic cell secretory products post wounding significantly increased collagen deposition within the wounded area compared to controls. There was however no difference evident in the healing outcomes between the wounds treated with M2 monocytic cell derived secretome without tolerization and those treated with secretome derived from tolerized M2 monocytic cells. Despite its impact on ECM deposition in the wound bed, the secretome showed no benefit for superficial wound closure and did not improve the overall histology score.

Naturally derived biomaterial-based microneedles have demonstrated excellent biocompatibility, degradability, and low toxicity, enhancing the healing process by providing mechanical support and delivering antimicrobial agents, growth factors, and antioxidants.

In 2013, we predicted that the ATMP regulation would adversely impact Member States' health care systems and would threaten the sustainability of many HCTPs provided by public health institutions. To assess the current ATMP state of play and investigate whether these predictions ultimately came true, we consulted relevant scientific and trade literature and official competent authority reports and surveyed the former Belgian HCTP producers. We found that the ATMP Regulation produced 19 authorised ATMPs, with 16 of them (84.2%) belonging to the gene therapy medicinal product (GTMP) class and only 3 HCTPs (15.8%), 2 TEPs and 1 sCTMP. List prices varied according to the ATMP class, with public health insurances struggling to reimburse ATMPs, especially the exuberantly priced GTMPs. This led to marketing authorization withdrawals, and crowd funding approaches and lotteries to determine who would receive lifesaving treatments.

One of the promising approaches in regenerative medicine is the recellularisation of wound dressings. A polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate imprinted with ovine foetal keratinocytes was used as a template to induce the keratinocyte differentiation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) in this study. The therapeutic efficacy on full-thickness cutaneous wound regeneration was evaluated by employing keratinocyte-differentiated ADSCs (KC-ADSCs) in combination with collagen scaffolds in an ovine model. The successful differentiation of ADSCs into keratinocyte-like cells through the imprinted PDMS substrate was confirmed via immunocytochemical analysis of specific keratinocyte markers. The study implemented a randomised controlled design comparing four treatment groups: KC-ADSCs seeded on a collagen scaffold, undifferentiated ADSCs on a collagen scaffold, acellular collagen scaffold, and untreated controls. Wound healing was evaluated with and without polypropylene wound isolation chambers to prevent keratinocyte migration and wound contraction. Healing outcomes were assessed through standardised macroscopic documentation and comprehensive histopathological analysis over 3 weeks. The KC-ADSC/collagen scaffold combination demonstrated significantly superior wound healing characteristics (p < 0.05), including enhanced re-epithelialisation, advanced granulation tissue maturation, reduced inflammatory infiltrate, and improved neovascularisation compared to control groups. This therapeutic superiority was particularly evident in chambered wounds, where the KC-ADSC/collagen construct promoted substantial epithelial regeneration despite restricted wound contraction and cell migration.
