First Advanced Bilayer Scaffolds for Tailored Skin Tissue Engineering Produced via Electrospinning and Melt Electrowriting

In vitro skin models are validated methods for screening cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, but still have limitations. The bilayer poly(epsilon-caprolactone) scaffold/membrane model described here overcomes some of these deficits by integrating a solution ele ...

Anti-microbial dendrimers against multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa enhance the angiogenic effect of biological burn-wound bandages

Dominique Pioletti, Philippe Abdel Sayed, Lee Ann Laurent-Applegate, Jean-Louis Reymond, Paris Jafari

Multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa has increased progressively and impedes further regression in mortality in burn patients. Such wound infections serve as bacterial reservoir for nosocomial infections and are associated with signi cant morbidity ...

Therapeutic Proteins Engineered for Super-Affinity to the Extracellular Matrix in Regenerative Medicine

Priscilla Suhasna Maithili Briquez

Regenerative medicine aims to repair body tissues when natural mechanisms fail. Growth factors (GFs) are essential proteins that promote tissue regeneration upon injury, and as such, are very promising therapeutic drugs in regenerative medicine. Due to the ...

Extracellular Matrix-Inspired Growth Factor Delivery Systems for Skin Wound Healing

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Mikaël Martino, Priscilla Suhasna Maithili Briquez

Significance: Growth factors are very promising molecules for the treatment of skin wounds. However, their translation to clinical use has been seriously limited, facing issues related to safety and cost-effectiveness. These problems may derive from the fa ...

Real-time Full Field Laser Doppler Imaging

Theo Lasser, Marcel Leutenegger, Tyler Nerton Thacher

We present a full field laser Doppler imaging instrument that enables real-time in vivo assessment of blood flow in dermal tissue and skin. The instrument monitors the blood perfusion in an area of about 50cm2 with 480 x 480 pixels per frame at a rate of 1 ...

Early Fate Choice Determines in vivo Engraftment and in vitro Behavior of Epidermal Stem Cells

François Gorostidi

Regenerative medicine aims at using stem cells to restore or establish lost, damaged, diseased, or aging tissues and organs function. The transplantation of cultured epidermal autograft (CEA) has saved the lives of many burned patients over the last 30 yea ...

Chronic wound healing by fetal cell therapy may be explained by differential gene profiling observed in fetal versus old skin cells

Dominique Pioletti, Corinne Scaletta, Lee Ann Laurent-Applegate, Nathalie Hirt-Burri

Engineering of fetal tissue has a high potential for the treatment of acute and chronic wounds of the skin in humans as these cells have high expansion capacity under simple culture conditions and one organ donation can produce Master Cell Banks which can ...

Understanding engraftment of cultured epidermal stem cells

Nicolas Grasset

The epidermis and its appendages protect our body from environmental hazards. Cells generated in the basal layer continuously replace the terminally differentiated keratinocytes that are shed off the epidermal surface. Long-term renewal depends on specific ...

Wound-healing defect of CD18(-/-) mice due to a decrease in TGF-beta1 and myofibroblast differentiation

Boris Hinz

We studied the mechanisms underlying the severely impaired wound healing associated with human leukocyte-adhesion deficiency syndrome-1 (LAD1) using a murine disease model. In CD18(-/-) mice, healing of full-thickness wounds was severely delayed during gra ...

Delivery of FGF-2 but not VEGF by encapsulated genetically engineered myoblasts improves survival and vascularization in a model of acute skin flap ischemia

Patrick Aebischer

Stimulating angiogenesis by gene transfer approaches offers the hope of treating tissue ischemia which is untreatable by currently practiced techniques of vessel grafting and bypass surgery. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast gr ...
