Multifunctional Photoactive Hydrogels for Wound Healing Acceleration

Aziz Maleki et al.

Summary: Light-based photothermal therapy (PTT) and photo-dynamic therapy (PDT) have great potential in wound healing and infection prevention. Multifunctional photoresponsive hydrogels (MPRHs) combining light and hydrogel advantages are increasingly used in biomedicine, particularly in wound repair. The modulation of bacterial microenvironments to inhibit infection through PTT, PDT, and photothermal/photodynamic synergistic therapy has been discussed.

Botulinum toxin type A attenuates hypertrophic scar formation via the inhibition of TGF-β1/Smad and ERK pathways

Yue-Hua Li et al.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the potential mechanisms of BTA in inhibiting hypertrophic scar formation. The results showed that BTA decreased fibroblast proliferation and prevented overdeposition of ECM through inhibition of the TGF-beta 1/Smad and ERK pathways. Overall, these findings provide new scientific evidence for the prevention and treatment of hypertrophic scars.
