Abstract
Diabetic wounds pose an enduring clinical hurdle, marked by delayed recovery, persistent inflammation, and an elevated susceptibility to infections. Conventional treatment approaches often fall short of delivering optimal outcomes, prompting the exploration of innovative methods to enhance the healing process. Electrospun wound dressings offer superior healing, controlled drug release, enhanced cell proliferation, biocompatibility, high surface area, and antimicrobial properties. In the current study, polycaprolactone/gelatin-based nanofibrous wound dressings were developed for the delivery of Wharton's jelly stem cells and curcumin into the diabetic wounds bed. Curcumin was loaded into the polycaprolactone/gelatin solution and electrospun to produce curcumin-loaded scaffolds. In vitro experiments including scanning electron microscopy, cell viability assay, release assay, hemocompatibility assay, cell proliferation assay, and antibacterial assay were utilized to characterize the delivery system. Then, curcumin-loaded scaffolds were seeded with 30,000 Wharton's jelly stem cells and implanted into a rat model of diabetic wounds. Study showed that the scaffolds containing both Wharton's jelly stem cells and curcumin significantly improved diabetic wound closure (86.32 3.88% at the end of 14th day), augmented collagen deposition, and improved epithelial tissue formation. Gene expression studies showed that VEGF and IGF genes were significantly upregulated by the co-delivery system. Our developed system may have augmented diabetic wound healing via upregulating pro-healing genes.

Abstract
Biocompatible fibrous scaffold containing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), 70S30C bioactive glass (BG), silver (Ag) nanoparticles and curcumin (Cur) was fabricated through electrospinning method. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) were employed to investigate the morphological characteristics of the scaffolds. In addition, biodegradability, hydrophilicity, and contact angle were studied as criteria for evaluating physical properties of the scaffolds. Tensile strength was reported to be 0.971 ± 0.093 MPa. Also, the viability of fibroblasts after 7 days of cell culture was 93.58 ± 1.36 %. The antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria was illustrated using inhibition zones of 13.12 ± 0.69 and 14.21 ± 1.37 mm, respectively. Histological results revealed that tissue regeneration after 14 days of surgery was much higher for the dressing group compared to the blank group. According to the obtained results, the authors introduce the PVA-BG-Ag-Cur scaffold as a promising candidate for skin tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Encapsulating curcumin (CUR) in nanocarriers such as liposomes, polymeric micelles, silica nanoparticles, protein-based nanocarriers, solid lipid nanoparticles, and nanocrystals could be efficient for a variety of industrial and biomedical applications. Nanofibers containing CUR represent a stable polymer-drug carrier with excellent surface-to-volume ratios for loading and cell interactions, tailored porosity for controlled CUR release, and diverse properties that fit the requirements for numerous applications. Despite the mentioned benefits, electrospinning is not capable of producing fibers from multiple polymers and biopolymers, and the product's effectiveness might be affected by various machine- and material-dependent parameters like the voltage and the flow rate of the electrospinning process. This review delves into the current and innovative recent research on nanofibers containing CUR and their various applications.

Abstract
Despite numerous advantages, curcumin's (CUR) low solubility and low bioavailability limit its employment as a free drug. CUR-incorporated nanoformulation enhances the bioavailability and angiogenesis, collagen deposition, fibroblast proliferation, reepithelization, collagen synthesis, neovascularization, and granulation tissue formation in different wounds. Designing nanoformulations with controlled-release properties ensure the presence of CUR in the defective area during treatment. Different nanoformulations encompassing nanofibers, nanoparticles (NPs), nanospray, nanoemulsion, nanosuspension, nanoliposome, nanovesicle, and nanomicelle were described in the present study comprehensively. Moreover, for some other systems which contain nano-CUR or CUR nanoformulations, including some nanofibers, films, composites, scaffolds, gel, and hydrogels seems the CUR-loaded NPs incorporation has better control of the sustained release, and thereby, the presence of CUR until the final stages of wound healing is more possible. Incorporating CUR-loaded chitosan NPs into nanofiber increased the release time, while 80% of CUR was released during 240 h (10 days). Therefore, this system can guarantee the presence of CUR during the entire healing period. Furthermore, porous structures such as sponges, aerogels, some hydrogels, and scaffolds disclosed promising performance. These architectures with interconnected pores can mimic the native extracellular matrix, thereby facilitating attachment and infiltration of cells at the wound site, besides maintaining a free flow of nutrients and oxygen within the three-dimensional structure essential for rapid and proper wound healing, as well as enhancing mechanical strength.

Abstract
The effect of tissue engineering strategies in combination with Lactobacillus plantarum and platelet-rich growth factor (PRGF) with the aim of creating an appropriate wound dressing can be useful in wound healing and infection prevention in patients suffering from acute and chronic skin damages. Therefore, in this study, a new approach was employed to create a bioactive multilayer electrospun scaffold composed of polyurethane (PU), PRGF, and gelatin fibers, then human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs), fibroblast cells (HU-02) and L. plantarum were cultured on the scaffold. The physicochemical properties, biocompatibility, and antibacterial activity of the scaffold were evaluated. In addition, the expression of the migration and proliferation genes of fibroblast cells were investigated by real-time PCR (polymerase chain reaction). Mitochondrial activity assays revealed that PRFG and L. plantarum had a significant positive effect on the viability of target co-cultured cells.Fluorescent and SEM (scanning electron microscopy) images presented the cells and bacterial proliferation and adhesion in hydrophilic scaffolds within 21 days. The sustained release of PRGF from scaffolds with a zero-order pattern was confirmed. RT-PCR analysis revealed that PRGF elevated the expression of VEGF genes up to fourfold, but L. plantarum had a better effect on DDR2 gene expression compared to the TCPS group. Antibacterial tests showed that L. plantarum has a bacterial load reduction of more than 70% in CFU/mL. The present scaffold is an appropriate model for cell attachment, migration, proliferation, and infection prevention.

Abstract
Curcumin (CUR), a natural compound found in turmeric that has multiple biological functions such as antibacterial, anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, and wound healing properties due to its hydrophobicity CUR solubilization is a great challenge. In this study, the electrospinning process is used to fabricate a novel active wound dressing based on CUR loaded silk fibroin (SF)/hydroxyapatite (HAp) (SF/HAp-CUR) nanofibers in diabetic rats. The incorporation of CUR into the SF/HAp-CUR nanofibers had an obvious effect on the morphology and dimension of SF/HAp-CUR nanofibers characterized by SEM analysis. Morphological analysis revealed that the average fiber diameter of the SF/HAp, SF/HAp-CUR(1.0%), SF/HAp-CUR(3.0%), and SF/HAp-CUR(5.0%) nanofibers were calculated to be 461 ± 65 nm, 323 ± 90 nm, 412 ± 110, and 497 ± 118 nm. In addition of CUR in the SF/HAp nanofibers significantly improved the mechanical properties in terms of enhanced elongation at break and tensile strengths. The percentages of water uptake and porosity of SF/HAp-CUR nanofibers were 143.7 ± 4.05% and 92.5 ± 3.40%, respectively. The results showed that CUR presented a sustained release behavior from SF/HAp-CUR nanofibers and maintained its free radical scavenging ability. The prepared nanofibers surface interaction was confirmed by FT-IR and XRD analysis. Antibacterial tests revealed SF/HAp-CUR on day 14 improved the bacterial embarrassment of both E. coli and S. aureus by 4 to 5-fold, respectively. The cell cytotoxicity with L929 mouse fibroblasts on the SF/HAp-CUR nanofibers was very low at 7.7 ± 1.75% on day 14. In vivo wound healing showed that the treatment using SF/HAp-CUR nanofibers significantly increased the rate of wound closure (99.6 ± 0.86%) on day 21 compared with that using SF/HAp nanofibers (67.7 ± 4.25%). These results showed that the delivery of SF/HAp-CUR nanofibers can facilitate antibacterial, anti-oxidant, cytotoxicity of wound healing properties.

Abstract
Electrospun techniques are promising and flexible technologies to fabricate ultrafine fiber/nanofiber materials from diverse materials with unique characteristics under optimum conditions. These fabricated fibers/nanofibers via electrospinning can be easily assembled into several shapes of three-dimensional (3D) structures and can be combined with other nanomaterials. Therefore, electrospun nanofibers, with their structural and functional advantages, have gained considerable attention from scientific communities as suitable candidates in biomedical fields, such as the regeneration of tissues and organs, where they can mimic the network structure of collagen fiber in its natural extracellular matrix(es). Due to these special features, electrospinning has been revolutionized as a successful technique to fabricate such nanomaterials from polymer media. Therefore, this review reports on recent progress in electrospun nanofibers and their applications in various biomedical fields, such as bone cell proliferation, nerve regeneration, and vascular tissue, and skin tissue, engineering. The functionalization of the fabricated electrospun nanofibers with different materials furnishes them with promising properties to enhance their employment in various fields of biomedical applications. Finally, we highlight the challenges and outlooks to improve and enhance the application of electrospun nanofibers in these applications.

Abstract
Electrospinning (ES) has become a straightforward and customizable drug delivery technique for fabricating drug-loaded nanofibers (NFs) using various biodegradable and non-biodegradable polymers. One of NF's pros is to provide a controlled drug release through managing the NF structure by changing the spinneret type and nature of the used polymer. Electrospun NFs are employed as implants in several applications including, cancer therapy, microbial infections, and regenerative medicine. These implants facilitate a unique local delivery of chemotherapy because of their high loading capability, wide surface area, and cost-effectiveness. Multi-drug combination, magnetic, thermal, and gene therapies are promising strategies for improving chemotherapeutic efficiency. In addition, implants are recognized as an effective antimicrobial drug delivery system overriding drawbacks of traditional antibiotic administration routes such as their bioavailability and dosage levels. Recently, a sophisticated strategy has emerged for wound healing by producing biomimetic nanofibrous materials with clinically relevant properties and desirable loading capability with regenerative agents. Electrospun NFs have proposed unique solutions, including pelvic organ prolapse treatment, viable alternatives to surgical operations, and dental tissue regeneration. Conventional ES setups include difficult-assembled mega-sized equipment producing bulky matrices with inadequate stability and storage. Lately, there has become an increasing need for portable ES devices using completely available off-shelf materials to yield highly-efficient NFs for dressing wounds and rapid hemostasis. This review covers recent updates on electrospun NFs in nanomedicine applications. ES of biopolymers and drugs is discussed regarding their current scope and future outlook.

Abstract
Wound healing is a serious obstacle due to the complexity of evaluation and management. While novel approaches to promoting chronic wound healing are of critical interest at the moment, several studies have demonstrated that combination therapy is critical for the treatment of a variety of diseases, particularly chronic wounds. Among the various approaches that have been proposed for wound care, regenerative medicine-based methods have garnered the most attention. As is well known, regenerative medicine's three primary tools are gene/cell therapy, biomaterials, and tissue engineering. Multifunctional biomaterials composed of synthetic and natural components are highly advantageous for exosome carriers, which utilizing them is an exciting wound healing method. Recently, stem cell-secreted exosomes and certain biomaterials have been identified as critical components of the wound healing process, and their combination therapy appears to produce significant results. This paper presents a review of literature and perspectives on the use of stem cell-derived exosomes and biomaterials in wound healing, particularly chronic wounds, and discusses the possibility of future clinical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stem cell therapy is developing as a valuable therapeutic trend for heart diseases. Most recent studies are aimed to find the most appropriate types of stem cells for the treatment of myocardial infarction (MI). The animal models have shown that bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are a possible, safe, and efficient type of stem cell used in MI. The previous study demonstrated that 5-Azacytidine (5-Aza) could promote cardiac differentiation in stem cells. METHODS This study used 5-Aza to induce cardiomyocyte differentiation in BMSCs both in static and microfluidic cell culture systems. For this purpose, we investigated the differentiation by using real-time PCR and Immunocytochemistry (ICC) Analysis. RESULTS Our results showed that 5-Aza could cause to express cardiac markers in BMSCs as indicated by real-time PCR and immunocytochemistry (ICC). However, BMSCs are exposed to both 5-Aza and shear stress, and their synergistic effects could significantly induce cardiac gene expressions in BMSCs. This level of gene expression was observed neither in 5-Aza nor in shear stress groups only. CONCLUSIONS These results demonstrate that when BMSCs expose to 5-Aza as well as mechanical cues such as shear stress, the cardiac gene expression can be increased dramatically.

Abstract
Chronic/non-healing cutaneous wounds pose a debilitating burden on patients and healthcare system. Presently, treatment modalities are rapidly shifting pace from conventional methods to advanced wound care involving cell-based therapies. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have come across as a prospective option due to its pleiotropic functions viz. non-immunogenicity, multipotency, multi-lineage plasticity and secretion of growth factors, cytokines, microRNAs (miRNA), exosomes, and microvesicles as part of their secretome for assisting wound healing. We outline the therapeutic role played by MSCs and its secretome in suppressing tissue inflammation, causing immunomodulation, aiding angiogenesis and assisting in scar-free wound healing. We further assess the mechanism of action by which MSCs contribute in manifesting tissue repair. The review flows ahead in exploring factors that influence healing behavior including effect of multiple donor sites, donor age and health status, tissue microenvironment, and in vitro expansion capability. Moving ahead, we overview the advancements achieved in extending the lifespan of cells upon implantation, influence of genetic modifications aimed at altering MSC cargo, and evaluating bioengineered matrix-assisted delivery methods toward faster healing in preclinical and clinical models. We also contribute toward highlighting the challenges faced in commercializing cell-based therapies as standard of care treatment regimens. Finally, we strongly advocate and highlight its application as a futuristic technology for revolutionizing tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Wound healing is a biological process that is mainly crucial for the rehabilitation of injured tissue. The incorporation of curcumin (Cur) into a hydrogel system is used to treat skin wounds in different diseases due to its hydrophobic character. In this study, sodium alginate and collagen, which possess hydrophilic, low toxic, and biocompatible properties, were utilized. Collagen/alginate scaffolds were synthesized, and nanocurcumin was incorporated inside them; their interaction was evaluated by FTIR spectroscopy. Morphological studies investigated structures of the samples studied by FE-SEM. The release profile of curcumin was detected, and the cytotoxic test was determined on the L929 cell line using an MTT assay. Analysis of tissue wound healing was performed by H&E staining. Nanocurcumin was spherical, its average particle size was 45 nm, and the structure of COL/ALG scaffold was visible. The cell viability of samples was recorded in cells after 24 h incubation. Results of in vivo wound healing remarkably showed CUR-COL/ALG scaffold at about 90% (p < 0.001), which is better than that of COL/ALG, 80% (p < 0.001), and the control 73.4% (p < 0.01) groups at 14 days/ The results of the samples’ FTIR indicated that nanocurcumin was well-entrapped into the scaffold, which led to improving the wound-healing process. Our results revealed the potential of nanocurcumin incorporated in COL/ALG scaffolds for the wound healing of skin tissue in trauma patients.

Abstract
Currently, mesenchymal stem/stromal stem cell (MSC) therapy has become a promising option for accelerating cutaneous wound healing. In vivo reports have outlined the robust competences of MSCs to offer a solid milieu by inhibition of inflammatory reactions, which in turn, enables skin regeneration. Further, due to their great potential to stimulate angiogenesis and also facilitate matrix remodeling, MSCs hold substantial potential as future therapeutic strategies in this context. The MSCs-induced wound healing is thought to mainly rely on the secretion of a myriad of paracrine factors in addition to their direct differentiation to skin-resident cells. Besides, MSCs-derived exosomes as nanoscale and closed membrane vesicles have recently been suggested as an effective and cell-free approach to support skin regeneration, circumventing the concerns respecting direct application of MSCs. The MSCs-derived exosomes comprise molecular components including lipid, proteins, DNA, microRNA, and also mRNA, which target molecular pathways and also biological activities in recipient cells (e.g., endothelial cell, keratinocyte, and fibroblast). The secreted exosome modifies macrophage activation, stimulates angiogenesis, and instigates keratinocytes and dermal fibroblast proliferations as well as migrations concurrently regulate inherent potential of myofibroblast for adjustment of turnover of the ECM. In the present review, we will focus on the recent findings concerning the application of MSCs and their derivative exosome to support wound healing and skin regeneration, with special focus on last decade in vivo reports.

Abstract
Abstract Currently, nanoscale materials and scaffolds carrying antitumor agents to the tumor target site are practical approaches for cancer treatment. Immunotherapy is a modern approach to cancer treatment in which the body’s immune system adjusts to deal with cancer cells. Immuno-engineering is a new branch of regenerative medicine-based therapies that uses engineering principles by using biological tools to stimulate the immune system. Therefore, this branch’s final aim is to regulate distribution, release, and simultaneous placement of several immune factors at the tumor site, so then upgrade the current treatment methods and subsequently improve the immune system’s handling. In this paper, recent research and prospects of nanotechnology-based cancer immunotherapy have been presented and discussed. Furthermore, different encouraging nanotechnology-based plans for targeting various innate and adaptive immune systems will also be discussed. Due to novel views in nanotechnology strategies, this field can address some biological obstacles, although studies are ongoing. Graphic abstract ![]()

Abstract
Senescence in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) not only hinders the application of MSCs in regenerative medicine but is also closely correlated with biological aging and the development of degenerative diseases. In this study, we investigated the anti-aging effects of curcumin (Cur) on canine bone marrow-derived MSCs (cBMSCs), and further elucidated the potential mechanism of action based on the modulation of autophagy. cBMSCs were expanded in vitro with standard procedures to construct a cell model of premature senescence. Our evidence indicates that compared with the third passage of cBMSCs, many typical senescence-associated phenotypes were observed in the sixth passage of cBMSCs. Cur treatment can improve cBMSC survival and retard cBMSC senescence according to observations that Cur (1 μM) treatment can improve the colony-forming unit-fibroblasts (CFU-Fs) efficiency and upregulated the mRNA expression of pluripotent transcription factors (SOX-2 and Nanog), as well as inhibiting the senescence-associated beta-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) activities and mRNA expression of the senescence-related markers (p16 and p21) and pro-inflammatory molecules (tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6)). Furthermore, Cur (0.1 μM~10 μM) was observed to increase autophagic activity, as identified by upregulation of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3), unc51-like autophagy-activating kinase-1 (ULK1), autophagy-related gene (Atg) 7 and Atg12, and the generation of type II of light chain 3 (LC3-II), thereby increasing autophagic vacuoles and acidic vesicular organelles, as well as causing a significant decrease in the p62 protein level. Moreover, the autophagy activator rapamycin (RAP) and Cur were found to partially ameliorate the senescent features of cBMSCs, while the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA) was shown to aggravate cBMSCs senescence and Cur treatment was able to restore the suppressed autophagy and counteract 3-MA-induced cBMSC senescence. Hence, our study highlights the important role of Cur-induced autophagy and its effects for ameliorating cBMSC senescence and provides new insight for delaying senescence and improving the therapeutic potential of MSCs.

Abstract
Wound dressings have become a crucial treatment for wound healing due to their convenience, low cost, and prolonged wound management. As cutting-edge biomaterials, marine polysaccharides are divided from most marine organisms. It possesses various bioactivities, which allowing them to be processed into various forms of wound dressings. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the application of marine polysaccharides in wound dressings is particularly important for the studies of wound therapy. In this review, we first introduce the wound healing process and describe the characteristics of modern commonly used dressings. Then, the properties of various marine polysaccharides and their application in wound dressing development are outlined. Finally, strategies for developing and enhancing marine polysaccharide wound dressings are described, and an outlook of these dressings is given. The diverse bioactivities of marine polysaccharides including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, haemostatic properties, etc., providing excellent wound management and accelerate wound healing. Meanwhile, these biomaterials have higher biocompatibility and biodegradability compared to synthetic ones. On the other hand, marine polysaccharides can be combined with copolymers and active substances to prepare various forms of dressings. Among them, emerging types of dressings such as nanofibers, smart hydrogels and injectable hydrogels are at the research frontier of their development. Therefore, marine polysaccharides are essential materials in wound dressings fabrication and have a promising future.

Abstract
AIMS Progenitor cells-based regenerative strategy has shown promise to repair cartilage, an avascular tissue in which cells experience hypoxia. Hypoxia is known to improve the early chondrogenic differentiation of stem cells. Therefore, this study aimed to determine whether hypoxia preconditioning could be used to enhance the regenerative potential of the combination of buccal fat pad stem cells (BFPSCs) and bilayer chitosan-based hydrogel scaffold for articular cartilage repair. MATERIALS AND METHODS Human BFPSCs were seeded on the bilayer chitosan-based hydrogel scaffolds in the culture medium. The viability and proliferation of cells on the scaffolds were monitored using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), MTT assay, and DAPI staining. Hypoxia preconditioned BFPSCs-seeded scaffolds were transplanted into rabbit articular cartilage knee defects for 12 weeks. The newly formed tissue was evaluated by cartilage-specific immunohistological analysis and histological staining. KEY FINDINGS It was found that the chondrogenic differentiation and osteochondral conjunction in articular cartilage defect via BFPSCs-seeded bilayer scaffolds was enhanced by hypoxic preconditioning compared to a normoxic environment. SIGNIFICANCE Based on our study, the integrity with subchondral bone in osteochondral defect was enhanced by BFPSCs on bilayer scaffold. Thus, this study provides evidence on the design of preconditioned cell-seeded bilayer hydrogels for articular cartilage regeneration.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), as one of the leading cell-based therapy, have provided a strong link between clinical investigation and basic research. MSCs have been successfully employed in treating graft versus host disease (GvHD), autoimmune disease, and several other diseases, particularly with high immune activity. Recently, MSCs have attracted attention to treating untreatable viral infections such as severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Given that the Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are directly able to detect internal and external hazard signals, and their stimulation has an intense effect on the ability to grow, differentiate, migrate, and maintain MSCs, it seems stimulation of these receptors can have a direct impact on the interaction of MSCs and immune cells, altering the ability to modify immune system responses. Hence, this mini-review focused on TLRs’ critical roles in the polarization of MSCs for developing MSC-based therapy in viral infections. Consequently, according to the literature review, a polarization process, mediated by TLRs concerning anti-inflammatory and proinflammatory phenotype, may be considered for MSC-therapy against viral infections.
