“…In previous studies we reported positive effect of intracellular delivery of Mg-ATP (ATP-vesicles) to enhance excisional skin wound healing process in non-ischemic and ischemic wounds both in non-diabetic and diabetic animals ( Chien, 2006 ; Wang et al, 2009a ; Wang et al, 2010 ; Chien, 2010a ; Chien, 2010b ; Howard et al, 2014 ; Sarojini et al, 2017 ; Mo et al, 2020 ). One unique feature of intracellular delivery of ATP-vesicles was the very early and massive macrophage accumulation, and these studies provide the primary evidence of in situ macrophage proliferation, M2 polarization, and direct collagen production during wound healing ( Chien, 2006 ; Wang et al, 2010 ; Chien, 2010a ; Chien, 2010b ; Sarojini et al, 2017 ; Mo et al, 2020 ) without the involvement of other known factors such as parasite infection ( Jenkins et al, 2011 ). This feature could be especially valuable for the healing of incisional wounds because the healing of incisional wounds depends more heavily on the formation of the extracellular matrix, especially tissue collagen content ( Klinge et al, 2006 ; Chang et al, 2010 ; Petersson et al, 2014 ).…”
