The Use of Bioprinted Skin Grafts for Burn Wound Healing

August 6, 2021 Kavya Yeruva 
Kavya Yeruva  Introduction: Burns are one of the most common types of trauma, resulting in damage to the epidermis, dermis, and occasionally underlying tissue. The resulting pro-inflammatory response is initiated by vasodilation of nearby blood vessels and diapedesis of various cells into the injured area.1,2,3 Macrophages then release cytokines like…

The Role of Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles (MSC-EVs) in Promoting M2 Macrophage Polarization in Severe Cutaneous Burn Wounds Following MSC Treatment

July 29, 2021 Ian T. Bui
Ian T. Bui Introduction. Severe cutaneous burn wound is classified as a third- or higher-degree full thickness burn that involves destruction of epidermis and dermis1. Macrophages influence all steps in wound healing through their phenotypic polarization: pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype and anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype2,3. Traditional treatments such as Early Excision and…
