Abstract:The scar repair inevitably causes damage of skin function and loss of skin appendages such as hair follicles (HF). It is of great challenge in wound repair that how to intervene in scar formation while simultaneously remodeling HF niche and inducing in situ HF regeneration. Here, chemical reprogramming techniques are used to identify a clinically chemical cocktail (Tideglusib and Tamibarotene) that can drive fibroblasts toward dermal papilla cell (DPC) fate. Considering the advantage of biomaterials in tissue … Show more
“…By combining the liposome nanoparticles, photo-responsive hydrogel shell, microfluidic and photo-crosslinking techniques, the AHFS hydrogel/microspheres drug delivery system delivered sever small molecule drugs to fibroblasts and successfully in situ reprogramed them to dermal papilla cells (DPCs). The results of following experiments indicated that the AHFS system could activate the PI3K/AKT pathway, promoting wound healing and endogenous hair follicles regeneration, also could inhibit the transformation of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts and inhibit scar formation [ 256 ]. Biswas et al successfully delivered myoblast determination protein 1 (MYOD1) transcription factor in the cell nucleus of myoblast cells by PEG nanoparticle, and then reprogramed myoblast differentiation into skeletal, cardiac or smooth-muscle cells [ 257 ].…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
