Overcoming the Inflammatory Stage of Non-Healing Wounds: In Vitro Mechanism of Action of Negatively Charged Microspheres (NCMs)

Abstract: Negatively charged microspheres (NCMs) represent a new therapeutic approach for wound healing since recent clinical trials have shown NCM efficacy in the recovery of hard-to-heal wounds that tend to stay in the inflammatory phase, unlocking the healing process. The aim of this study was to elucidate the NCM mechanism of action. NCMs were extracted from a commercial microsphere formulation (PolyHeal® Micro) and cytotoxicity, attachment, proliferation and viability assays were performed in keratinocytes and derm… Show more

“…This is of great importance in chronic inflammatory conditions, as a transition from the pro-inflammatory phenotype M1 to the regenerative phenotype M2 is pivotal to overcome the pathological state and heal. A failure in this transition can cause poor healing, as in the case of chronic wounds [ 49 ]. Indeed, recent studies have highlighted the importance of MSCs to modulate the macrophage phenotype from M0 and M1 to M2 to kickstart the wound healing process [ 45 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 ].…”

“…In recent years, with the changes in the spectrum of human diseases, the number of patients and the cost of skin wounds have increased significantly. According to statistics, the total annual direct cost of wound treatment in the United States exceeds $25 billion [5]. Repairing wounds quickly and with high quality is challenging.…”
