Abstract
Chronic non-healing wounds are a common consequence of skin ulceration in diabetic patients, with severe cases such as diabetic foot even leading to amputations. The interplay between pathological factors like hypoxia-ischemia, chronic inflammation, bacterial infection, impaired angiogenesis, and accumulation of advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs), resulting from the dysregulation of the immune microenvironment caused by hyperglycemia, establishes an unending cycle that hampers wound healing. However, there remains a dearth of sufficient and effective approaches to break this vicious cycle within the complex immune microenvironment. Consequently, numerous scholars have directed their research efforts towards addressing chronic diabetic wound repair. In recent years, gases including Oxygen (O2), Nitric oxide (NO), Hydrogen (H2), Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), Ozone (O3), Carbon monoxide (CO) and Nitrous oxide (N2O), along with gas-releasing materials associated with them have emerged as promising therapeutic solutions due to their ability to regulate angiogenesis, intracellular oxygenation levels, exhibit antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects while effectively minimizing drug residue-induced damage and circumventing drug resistance issues. In this review, we discuss the latest advances in the mechanisms of action and treatment of these gases and related gas-releasing materials in diabetic wound repair. We hope that this review can provide different ideas for the future design and application of gas therapy for chronic diabetic wounds.

Abstract
The process of wound healing and tissue regeneration involves several key mechanisms to ensure the production of new tissues with similar cellular functions. This study investigates the impact of pectin, a natural polysaccharide, and nebivolol hydrochloride (NBV), a nitric oxide (NO) donor drug, on wound healing. Utilizing ionotropic gelation, NBV-loaded pectin nanoparticles were developed following a 2231 full factorial design. The optimized formulation, determined using Design expert® software, exhibited an encapsulation efficiency percentage of 70.68%, zeta potential of -51.4 mV, and a particle size of 572 nm, characterized by a spherical, discrete morphology. An in vivo study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the optimal formulation in wound healing compared to various controls. The results demonstrated the enhanced ability of the optimal formulation to accelerate wound healing. Moreover, histopathological examination further confirmed the formulation's benefits in tissue proliferation and collagen deposition at the wound site 15 days post-injury. This suggests that the developed formulation not only promotes faster healing but does so with minimal side effects, positioning it as a promising agent for effective wound healing and tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Background Diabetes impairs wound healing, notably in diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). Stress, marked by the accumulation of lipoylated mitochondrial enzymes and the depletion of Fe-S cluster proteins, triggers cuproptosis-a distinct form of cell death. The involvement of copper in the pathophysiology of DFU has been recognized, and currently, a copper-based therapeutic strategy is emerging as a viable option for enhancing ulcer healing. This study investigates genes linked to copper metabolism in DFU, aiming to uncover potential targets for therapeutic intervention. Methods Two diabetic wound Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets were analyzed to study immune cell dysregulation in diabetic wounds. Differentially expressed genes related to copper metabolism were identified and analyzed using machine learning methods. Gene ontology, pathway enrichment, and immune infiltration analyses were performed using DFU samples. The expression of identified genes was validated using qRT-PCR and single-cell RNA sequencing. Results Ten genes associated with copper metabolism were identified. Among these, SLC31A1 and ADNP were found to be significantly differentially expressed in DFU. Notably, SLC31A1 exhibited higher expression in macrophages, whereas ADNP was found to be highly expressed in fibroblasts and chondrocytes. Conclusion The study indicates a close link between copper metabolism, the infiltration of immune cells, and DFU. It proposes that copper metabolism could influence the progression of DFU through the activation of immune responses. These observations offer fresh perspectives on the underlying mechanisms of DFU and identify potential targets for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Inefficient wound healing poses a global health challenge with a lack of efficient treatments. Wound healing issues often correlate with low endogenous nitric oxide (NO) levels. While exogenous delivery with NO-releasing compounds represents a promising therapeutic strategy, controlling the release of the highly reactive NO remains challenging. Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, like sildenafil, have also been shown to promote wound healing. This study explores hybrid compounds, combining NO-releasing diazeniumdiolates with a sildenafil-derived PDE5 inhibitor. One compound demonstrated a favorable NO-release profile, triggered by an esterase (prodrug), and displayed in vitro nanomolar inhibition potency against PDE5 and thrombin-induced platelet aggregation. Both factors are known to promote blood flow and oxygenation. Thus, our findings unveil promising prospects for effective wound healing treatments.

Abstract
Recently, insufficient angiogenesis and prolonged inflammation are crucial challenges of chronic skin wound healing. The sustained release of L-Arginine (L-Arg) and nitric oxide (NO) production can control immune responses, improve angiogenesis, enhance re-epithelialization, and accelerate wound healing. Here, we aim to improve wound healing via the controlled release of NO and L-Arg from poly (β-amino ester) (PβAE). In this regard, PβAE is functionalized with methacrylate poly-L-Arg (PAMA), and the role of PAMA content (50, 66, and 75 wt%) on the adhesive properties, L-Arg, and NO release, as well as collagen deposition, inflammatory responses, and angiogenesis, is investigated in vitro and in vivo. Results show that the PAMA/ PβAE could provide suitable adhesive strength (~25 kPa) for wound healing application. In addition, increasing the PAMA content from 50 to 75 wt% results in an increased release of L-Arg (approximately 1.4-1.7 times) and enhanced NO production (approximately 2 times), promoting skin cell proliferation and migration. The in vitro studies also show that compared to PβAE hydrogel, incorporation of 66 wt% PAMA (PAMA 66 sample) reveals superior collagen I synthesis (~ 3-4 times) of fibroblasts, controlled pro-inflammatory and improved anti-inflammatory cytokines secretion of macrophages, and accelerated angiogenesis (~1.5-2 times). In vivo studies in a rat model with a full-thickness skin defect also demonstrate the PAMA66 sample could accelerate wound healing (~98 %) and angiogenesis, compared to control (untreated wound) and Tegaderm™ commercial wound dressing. In summary, the engineered multifunctional PAMA functionalized PβAE hydrogel with desired NO and L-Arg release, and adhesive properties can potentially reprogram macrophages and accelerate skin healing for chronic wound healing.

Abstract
This study introduces a novel wound dressing by combining nitric oxide-releasing thiolated starch nanoparticles (NO-TS NPs) with gelatin. First, starch was thiolated (TS), and then its nanoparticles were prepared (TS NPs). Subsequently, NPs were covalently bonded to sodium nitrite to obtain NO-releasing TS NPs (NO-TS-NPs) that were incorporated into gelatin sponges at various concentrations. The resulting spherical TS NPs had a mean size of 85.42 ± 5.23 nm, which rose to 100.73 ± 7.41 nm after bonding with sodium nitrite. FTIR spectroscopy confirmed S-nitrosation on the NO-TS NPs' surface, and morphology analysis showed well-interconnected pores in all sponges. With higher NO-TS NPs content, pore size, porosity, and water uptake increased, while compressive modulus and strength decreased. Composites exhibited antibacterial activity, particularly against E. coli, with enhanced efficacy at higher NPs' concentrations. In vitro release studies demonstrated Fickian diffusion, with faster NO release in sponges containing more NPs. The released NO amounts were non-toxic to fibroblasts, but samples with fewer NO-TS NPs exhibited superior cellular density, cell attachment, and collagen secretion. Considering the results, including favorable mechanical strength, release behavior, antibacterial and cellular properties, gelatin sponges loaded with 2 mg/mL of NO-TS NPs can be suitable for wound dressing applications.

Abstract
Although wound healing is a normal physiological process in the human body, it is often impaired by bacterial infections, ischemia, hypoxia, and excess inflammation, which can lead to chronic and non-healing wounds. Recently, injectable hydrogels with controlled nitric oxide (NO) release behaviour have become potential wound healing therapeutic agents due to their excellent biochemical, mechanical, and biological properties. Here, we proposed novel multifunctional NO-releasing hydrogels that could regulate various wound healing processes, including hemostasis, inflammation, cell proliferation and angiogenesis. By incorporating the copper nanoparticles (NPs) in the network of dual enzymatically crosslinked gelatin hydrogels (GH/Cu), NO was in situ produced via the Cu-catalyzed decomposition of endogenous RSNOs available in the blood, thus resolving the intrinsic shortcomings of NO therapies, such as the short storage and release time, as well as the burst and uncontrollable release modes. We demonstrated that the NO-releasing gelatin hydrogels enhanced the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells, while promoting the M2 (anti-inflammatory) polarization of the macrophage. Furthermore, the effects of NO release on angiogenesis were evaluated using an in vitro tube formation assay and in ovo chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay, which revealed that GH/Cu hydrogels could significantly facilitate neovascularization, consistent with the in vivo results. Therefore, we suggested that these hydrogel systems would significantly enhance the wound healing process through the synergistic effects of the hydrogels and NO, and hence could be used as advanced wound dressing materials.

Abstract
Endogenous gasotransmitter nitric oxide (NO) is a central signalling molecule that modulates wound healing by maintaining homeostasis, collagen formation, wound contraction, anti-microbial action and accelerating tissue regeneration. The optimum delivery of NO using nanoparticles (NPs) is clinically challenging; hence, it is drawing significant attention in wound healing. Herein, a novel polymeric nanoplatform loaded with sodium nitroprusside (SP) NPs was prepared and used for wound healing to obtain the sustained release of NO in therapeutic quantities. SP NPs-induced excellent proliferation (∼300%) of mouse fibroblast (L929) cells was observed. With an increase in the SP NPs dose at 200 μg mL-1 concentration, a 200% upsurge in proliferation was observed along with enhanced migration, and only 17.09 h were required to fill the 50% gap compared to 37.85 h required by the control group. Further, SP NPs showed an insignificant impact on the coagulation cascade, revealing safe wound-healing treatment when tested in isolated rat RBCs. Additionally, SP NPs exhibited excellent angiogenic activity at a 10 μg mL-1 dose. Moreover, the formulated SP nanoformulation is non-irritant, non-toxic, and does not produce any skin sensitivity reaction on the rat's skin. Further, an in vivo wound healing study revealed that within 11 days of treatment with SP nanoformulation, 99.2 ± 1.0% of the wound was closed, while in the control group, only 45.5 ± 3.8% was repaired. These results indicate that owing to sustained NO release, the SP NP and SP nanoformulations are paramount with enormous clinical potential for the regeneration of wound tissues.

Abstract
Oxygen (O2 ), nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H2 S), and hydrogen (H2 ) with direct effects, and carbon dioxide (CO2 ) with complementary effects on the condition of various diseases are known as therapeutic gases. The targeted delivery and in situ generation of these therapeutic gases with controllable release at the site of disease has attracted attention to avoid the risk of gas poisoning and improve their performance in treating various diseases such as cancer therapy, cardiovascular therapy, bone tissue engineering, and wound healing. Stimuli-responsive gas-generating sources and delivery systems based on biomaterials that enable on-demand and controllable release are promising approaches for precise gas therapy. This work highlights current advances in the design and development of new approaches and systems to generate and deliver therapeutic gases at the site of disease with on-demand release behavior. The performance of the delivered gases in various biomedical applications is then discussed.

Abstract
Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are promising biomaterials with potential applicability in several areas due to their many useful and unique features. Among different applications, GQDs are photodynamic therapy agents that generate single oxygen and improve antimicrobial activity. In the present study, and for the first time, GQD were isolated from the Cannabis sativa L. seeds to generate C-GQDs as a new biomaterial for antibacterial and wound healing applications. Detailed characterization was performed using FTIR, UV-vis, Raman spectra, photoluminescence, TEM examination, HRTEM, ζ-potential, and XRD. Our results revealed in vitro and in vivo antibacterial activity of C-GQDs against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) with reduced minimal inhibitory concentration of 236 µg/mL for both strains. In addition, the C-GQDs confirmed the in vitro analysis and exhibited anti-inflammatory activity by reducing the level of neutrophils in blood and skin tissue. C-GQDs act by accelerating re-epithelization and granulation tissue formation. In addition, C-GQDs restored neurobehavioral alteration induced by incisional wounds by reducing oxidative stress, decreasing cortisol levels, increasing anxiolytic-like effect, and increasing vertical locomotor activity. The wound-healing effects of C-GQDs support its role as a potential therapeutic agent for diverse skin injuries.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds (DW) constitute a substantial burden on global healthcare owing to their widespread occurrence as a complication of diabetes. Angiogenesis, a crucial process, plays a pivotal role in tissue recovery by supplying essential oxygen and nutrients to the injury site. Unfortunately, in diabetes mellitus, various factors disrupt angiogenesis, hindering wound healing. While biomaterials designed to enhance angiogenesis hold promise for the treatment of DWs, there is an urgent need for more in-depth investigations to fully unlock their potential in clinical management. In this review, we explore the intricate mechanisms of angiogenesis that are crucial for DW recovery. We introduce a rational design for angiogenesis-enhancing drug delivery systems (DDS) and provide a comprehensive summary and discussion of diverse biomaterials that enhance angiogenesis for facilitating DW healing. Lastly, we address emerging challenges and prospects in angiogenesis-enhancing DDS for facilitating DW healing, aiming to offer a comprehensive understanding of this critical healthcare issue and potential solutions.

Abstract
Among the conditions caused by diabetes, the diabetic foot is a significant public health problem due to its delayed healing process. That makes it essential to design, manufacture, and apply auxiliary dressings during healing. In this work, chitosan sponges were developed and evaluated as wound dressings. Metformin, fucoidan, and exopolysaccharide from Porphyridium purpureum algae were loaded into the sponges and studied as healing promoters. The composite sponges were physicochemically, morphologically, and thermally characterized, allowing us to determine the chemical mechanisms involved in the sponge formation. The mechanical analysis demonstrated that sponge composites have shape memory and good mechanical performance under compression stress, showing a compressive strength above 30 kPa. These results correlated with the materials' porosity, influencing the swelling capacity that reached a maximum of 70 %. The morphology of materials was observed by SEM, resulting in folded films with surface porosity. The results of the biocompatibility tests confirmed that the materials are not cytotoxic or hemolytic and have good antibacterial activity. In vivo wound healing evaluation showed that metformin-loaded chitosan sponges regenerated skin tissue after 21 days of treatment, highlighting the rate of healing provided when exopolysaccharide was added to promote tissue regeneration, which can be corroborated by histological analysis. These results make chitosan sponge compounds promising dressings for diabetic foot wound treatment.

Abstract
Multifunctional membranes S7P0.7, S7P3.0, and dual membranes composed of soya protein isolate (SPI) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) were produced for wound dressing applications. The internal structure of the membranes was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to be homogeneous and coarser with a porous-like network. S7P3.0 showed the tensile strength of 0.78 ± 0.04 MPa. In the absence of antibiotics, the dual membrane (combination of S7P0.7 and S7P3.0) exhibited potential antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) and Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive) bacteria. Hemolysis quantitative data presented in the image demonstrates that all samples exhibited hemolysis levels below 5 %. Dual membrane showed 77.93 ± 9.5 % blood uptake which reflects its absorption capacity. The combination of S7P0.7 and S7P3.0 influenced the dual membrane's antibacterial, biocompatibility, and good hemolytic potentials. The dual membranes' promising histology features after implantation suggest they could be used as wound dressings.

Abstract
Microbial biofilm is undoubtedly a challenging problem in the food industry. It is closely associated with human health and life, being difficult to remove and antibiotic resistance. Therefore, an alternate method to solve these problems is needed. Nitric oxide (NO) as an antimicrobial agent, has shown great potential to disrupt biofilms. However, the extremely short half-life of NO in vivo (2 s) has facilitated the development of relatively more stable NO donors. Recent studies reported that NO could permeate biofilms, causing damage to cellular biomacromolecules, inducing biofilm dispersion by quorum sensing (QS) pathway and reducing intracellular bis-(3'-5')-cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) levels, and significantly improving the bactericidal effect without drug resistance. In this review, biofilm hazards and formation processes are presented, and the characteristics and inhibitory effects of NO donors are carefully discussed, with an emphasis on the possible mechanisms of NO resistance to biofilms and some advanced approaches concerning the remediation of NO donor deficiencies. Moreover, the future perspectives, challenges, and limitations of NO donors were summarized comprehensively. On the whole, this review aims to provide the application prospects of NO and its donors in the food industry and to make reliable choices based on these available research results.

Abstract
Macrophages play a crucial role in regulating wound healing, as they undergo a transition from the proinflammatory M1 phenotype to the proliferative M2 phenotype, ultimately contributing to a favorable outcome. However, in hyperglycemic and hyper-reactive oxygen species environments, the polarization of macrophages becomes dysregulated, hindering the transition from the inflammatory to proliferative phase and consequently delaying the wound healing process. Consequently, regulating macrophage polarization is often regarded as a potential target for the treatment of diabetic wounds. The role of macrophages in wound healing and the changes in macrophages in diabetic conditions were discussed in this review. After that, we provide a discussion of recent therapeutic strategies for diabetic wounds that utilize macrophage polarization. Furthermore, this review also provides a comprehensive summary of the efficacious treatment strategies aimed at enhancing diabetic wound healing through the regulation of macrophage polarization. By encompassing a thorough understanding of the fundamental principles and their practical implementation, the advancement of treatment strategies for diabetic wounds can be further facilitated.

Abstract
Protein-based biomaterials, particularly amyloids, have sparked considerable scientific interest in recent years due to their exceptional mechanical strength, excellent biocompatibility and bioactivity. In this work, we have synthesized a novel amyloid-based composite hydrogel consisting of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and aloe vera (AV) gel to utilize the medicinal properties of the AV gel and circumvent its mechanical frangibility. The synthesized composite hydrogel demonstrated an excellent porous structure, self-fluorescence, non-toxicity, and controlled rheological properties. Moreover, this hydrogel possesses inherent antioxidant and antibacterial properties, which accelerate the rapid healing of wounds. The in vitro wound healing capabilities of the synthesized composite hydrogel were evaluated using 3T3 fibroblast cells. Moreover, the efficacy of the hydrogel in accelerating chronic wound healing via collagen crosslinking was investigated through in vivo experiments using a diabetic mouse skin model. The findings indicate that the composite hydrogel, when applied, promotes wound healing by inducing collagen deposition and upregulating the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors. We also demonstrate the feasibility of the 3D printing of the BSA-AV hydrogel, which can be tailored to treat various types of wound. The 3D printed hydrogel exhibits excellent shape fidelity and mechanical properties that can be utilized for personalized treatment and rapid chronic wound healing. Taken together, the BSA-AV hydrogel has great potential as a bio-ink in tissue engineering as a dermal substitute for customizable skin regeneration.

Abstract
Organic nitrates are widely used, but their chronic efficacy is blunted due to the development of tolerance. The properties of new tolerance free organic nitrates were studied. Their lipophilicity profile and passive diffusion across polydimethylsiloxane membrane and pig ear-skin, and their efficacy in tissue regeneration using HaCaT keratinocytes were evaluated. The permeation results show that these nitrates have a suitable profile for NO topical administration on the skin. Furthermore, the derivatives with higher NO release exerted a pro-healing effect on HaCaT cells. This new class of organic nitrates might be a promising strategy for the chronic treatment of skin pathologies.

Abstract
Achieving sustained and stable release of macromolecular antibacterial agents and unidirectional transport of liquids in targeted environment is still a challenge to be addressed in the management of wounds with large amounts of tissue exudates. In this work, a multilayer electrospun membrane (ethylcellulose-ethylcellulose/gelatin-quercetin/Eudragit L-100/polyethylene glycol, EC-EC/Gel-Q/EL/PEG) was designed with hydrophobic-hydrophilic gradients and drug sustained-release properties controlled by self-pumping effect and prepared using sequential electrospinning technology. The capillary force of different layers in the multilayer membrane could be controlled by precisely tuning the polymer concentrations of the inner and middle layers to extract water directly from hydrophobic inner ethylcellulose (EC) layer to hydrophilic middle ethylcellulose/gelatin (EC/Gel) layer. The droplets could not penetrate the hydrophobic side, but the drug molecules in the outer layer quercetin-loaded Eudragit L-100 (Q/EL/PEG) membrane moved after absorbing a large amount of water. The drug release behavior of multilayer wound dressing mainly followed the Korsmeyer-Peppas model. This multifunctional electrospun membrane could rapidly drive the biofluid outflow, effectively block the invasion of external contaminants and continuously release anti-inflammatory drugs, without any obvious cytotoxicity to mouse fibroblast cells. Hence, the above results indicate the excellent therapeutic potential of the proposed biomaterial as a wound dressing for diabetic patients.

Abstract
In this study, a new wound dressing was developed to speed up the healing process of diabetic wounds. First of all, taxifolin liposome (TL) was manufactured in this study. Then, taxifolin (TAX) and TL were mixed with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and chitosan (CS) by electrostatic spinning to prepare nanocomposite membranes. Finally, the mechanism of nanocomposite membranes to accelerate diabetic wound healing was investigated. The diameter of TL-loaded polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan nanocomposite membranes (PVA/CS/TL) was 429.43 ± 78.07 nm. The results of in vitro experiments demonstrated that the PVA/CS/TL had better water absorption, water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), porosity, hydrophilicity, mechanical properties, slow-release, antioxidant capacity, and antibacterial properties. The results of in vivo experiments demonstrated that the wound healing rate of mice treated with PVA/CS/TL for eighteen days was 98.39 ± 0.34 %. Histopathological staining, immunohistochemical staining, and western blot experiments also demonstrated that PVA/CS/TL could promote wound healing in diabetic mice by inhibiting the activation of inhibitor kappa B alpha (IκBα)/nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway and related pro-inflammatory factors to increase the expression of CD31 and VEGF in skin tissues. These results suggested that PVA/CS/TL could be a potential candidate for wound dressing to promote chronic skin wound healing.

Abstract
This study was planned to investigate an alternative treatment modality in diabetic wound healing. In this experimental study, the efficacy of both cold atmospheric plasma/nitric oxide (NO) and NPH insulin ointment, recently known to have beneficial effects on wound healing, was investigated in diabetic wound healing. Twenty-four (24) diabetic rats were divided into four groups DC, DI, DNO and DINO (diabetic control, diabetic insulin, diabetic nitric oxide, diabetic insulin + nitric oxide groups). No treatment was applied to the DC group, NPH insulin was applied to the DI group, CAP/NO was applied to the DNO group, and CAP/NO + NPH insulin was applied to the DINO group once daily for 14 days. The wound area reduction and the wound contraction rate were calculated on the basis of the tissue sections taken, and histopathological and genetic analyses were carried out. Compared to the control group, exogenous NO gas was found to be a potent antibacterial agent in the diabetic wound healing, causing a reduction in the wound area (P = 0.034), an increased contraction rate (P = 0.021), epithelialisation (P = 0.02), collagen organisation (P = 0.006) and a reduction in the number of inflammatory cells (P = 0.002). A significant increase in the expression of IL-8 mRNA was observed (P = 0.026). It was concluded that NPH insulin alone contributes to wound healing, but it is not necessary to use it together with exogenous NO gas.

Abstract
Immunotherapy had demonstrated inspiring effects in tumor treatment, but only a minority of people could benefit owing to the hypoxic and immune-suppressed tumor microenvironment (TME). Therefore, there was an urgent need for a strategy that could relieve hypoxia and increase infiltration of tumor lymphocytes simultaneously. In this study, a novel acidity-responsive nanoscale ultrasound contrast agent (L-Arg@PTX nanodroplets) was constructed to co-deliver paclitaxel (PTX) and L-arginine (L-Arg) using the homogenization/emulsification method. The L-Arg@PTX nanodroplets with uniform size of about 300 nm and high drug loading efficiency displayed good ultrasound diagnostic imaging capability, improved tumor aggregation and achieved ultrasound-triggered drug release, which could prevent the premature leakage of drugs and thus improve biosafety. More critically, L-Arg@PTX nanodroplets in combination with ultrasound targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) could increase cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), which exerted an oxidizing effect that converted L-Arg into nitric oxide (NO), thus alleviating hypoxia, sensitizing chemotherapy and increasing the CD8 + cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) infiltration. Combined with the chemotherapeutic drug PTX-induced immunogenic cell death (ICD), this promising strategy could enhance immunotherapy synergistically and realize powerful tumor treatment effect. Taken together, L-Arg@PTX nanodroplets was a very hopeful vehicle that integrated drug delivery, diagnostic imaging, and chemoimmunotherapy.

Abstract
Since wound dressing has been considered a promising strategy to improve wound healing, recent attention has been focused on the development of modern wound dressings based on synthetic and bioactive polymers. In this study, we prepared a multifunctional wound dressing based on carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC)/sodium alginate (Alg) hydrogel containing a nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) in which simvastatin (SIM) has been encapsulated. This dressing aimed to act as a barrier against pathogens, eliminate excess exudates, and accelerate wound healing. Among various fabricated composites of dressing, the hydrogel composite with a CMC/sodium Alg ratio of 1:2 had an average pore size of about 98.44 ± 26.9 μm and showed 707 ± 31.9% swelling and a 2116 ± 79.2 g m-2per day water vapor transfer rate (WVTR), demonstrating appropriate properties for absorbing exudates and maintaining wound moisture. The NLC with optimum composition and properties had a spherical shape and uniform particle size distribution (74.46 ± 7.9 nm). The prepared nanocomposite hydrogel displayed excellent antibacterial activity againstEscherichia coliandStaphylococcus aureusas well as high biocompatibility on L929 mouse fibroblast cells. It can release the loaded SIM drug slowly and over a prolonged period of time. The highest drug release occurred (80%) within 14 d. The results showed that this novel nanocomposite could be a promising candidate as a wound dressing for treating various chronic wounds in skin tissues.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex and dynamic process, and metabolic disturbances in the microenvironment of chronic wounds and the severe symptoms they cause remain major challenges to be addressed. The inherent properties of hydrogels make them promising wound dressings. In addition, biomembrane-based nanostructures and microstructures (such as liposomes, exosomes, membrane-coated nanostructures, bacteria and algae) have significant advantages in the promotion of wound healing, including special biological activities, flexible drug loading and targeting. Therefore, biomembrane-based nanostructure- and microstructure-loaded hydrogels can compensate for their respective disadvantages and combine the advantages of both to significantly promote chronic wound healing. In this review, we outline the loading strategies, mechanisms of action and applications of different types of biomembrane-based nanostructure- and microstructure-loaded hydrogels in chronic wound healing.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is an important endogenous molecule that plays several roles in biological systems. NO is synthesized in human skin by three isoforms of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and, depending on the produced NO concentration, it can actuate in wound healing, dermal vasodilation, or skin defense against different pathogens, for example. Besides being endogenously produced, NO-based pharmacological formulations have been developed for dermatological applications targeting diverse pathologies such as bacterial infection, wound healing, leishmaniasis, and even esthetic issues such as acne and skin aging. Recent strategies focus mainly on developing smart NO-releasing nanomaterials/biomaterials, as they enable a sustained and targeted NO release, promoting an improved therapeutic effect. This review aims to overview and discuss the main mechanisms of NO in human skin, the recent progress in the field of dermatological formulations containing NO, and their application in several skin diseases, highlighting promising advances and future perspectives in the field.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder resulting in an increased blood glucose level and prolonged hyperglycemia, causes long term health conse-quences. Chronic wound is frequently occurring in diabetes patients due to compromised wound healing capability. Management of wounds in diabetic patients remains a clinical challenge despite many advancements in the field of science and technology. Increasing evidence indicates that alteration of the biochemical milieu resulting from alteration in inflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinase, decrease in fibroblast and keratinocyte functioning, neuropathy, altered leukocyte functioning, infection, etc., plays a significant role in impaired wound healing in diabetic people. Apart from the current pharmacotherapy, different other approaches like the use of conventional drugs, antidiabetic medication, antibiotics, debridement, offloading, platelet-rich plasma, growth factor, oxygen therapy, negative pressure wound therapy, low-level laser, extracorporeal shock wave bioengineered substitute can be considered in the management of diabetic wounds. Drugs/therapeutic strategy that induce angiogenesis and collagen synthesis, inhibition of MMPs, reduction of oxidative stress, controlling hyperglycemia, increase growth factors, regulate inflammatory cytokines, cause NO induction, induce fibroblast and keratinocyte proliferation, control microbial infections are considered important in controlling diabetic wound. Further, medicinal plants and/or phytoconstituents also offer a viable alternative in the treatment of diabetic wound. The focus of the present review is to highlight the molecular and cellular mechanisms, and discuss the drug targets and treatment strategies involved in the diabetic wound.

Abstract
The generation of nitric oxide (NO) in the skin plays a critical role in wound healing and the response to several stimuli, such as UV exposure, heat, infection, and inflammation. Furthermore, in the human body, NO is involved in vascular homeostasis and the regulation of blood pressure. Physiologically, a family of enzymes termed nitric oxide synthases (NOS) generates NO. In addition, there are many methods of non-enzymatic/NOS-independent NO generation, e.g., the reduction of NO derivates (NODs) such as nitrite, nitrate, and nitrosylated proteins under certain conditions. The skin is the largest and heaviest human organ and contains a comparatively high concentration of these NODs; therefore, it represents a promising target for many therapeutic strategies for NO-dependent pathological conditions. In this review, we give an overview of how the cutaneous NOD stores can be targeted and modulated, leading to a further accumulation of NO-related compounds and/or the local and systemic release of bioactive NO, and eventually, NO-related physiological effects with a potential therapeutical use for diseases such as hypertension, disturbed microcirculation, impaired wound healing, and skin infections.

Abstract
Today, despite significant progress in developing skin tissue engineering products, the fabrication of an ideal wound dressing that could meet the essential criteria, such as promoting angiogenesis -mainly in a diabetic wound- still remains a challenge. A diabetic wound is a chronic wound in which vascularization is low, and the wound healing process may stop. In this regard, Nitric oxide (NO) enhances the healing of diabetic wounds by promoting angiogenesis and providing antibacterial activity in wound sites. In this study, we produced a NO-releasing wound dressing (CMC-ALg-GSNO) composed of Carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC), sodium alginate (ALg), and Snitrosoglutathione (GSNO). The results obtained from the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) show that wound dressing has a porous structure. The water uptake and water vapor transmission for the wound dressing were obtained 4354.1 ± 179.3 % and 2753.8 ± 54.6 g/m2 per day, respectively. NO release study showed that NO release from CMC-ALg-GSNO continuously occurred within 168 hours. In vivo test, The CMC-ALg-GSNO wound dressing developed wound healing in a rat model of full-thickness diabetic wounds compared to the CMC-ALg and Gauze wound dressings. Thus, this study showed that CMC-ALg-GSNO wound dressing could lead to novel therapeutic invasions to treat diabetic wounds.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The complicated hyperglycaemic and chronic inflammation of diabetic wounds in orthopaedic surgery leads to dysregulated immune cell function and potential infection risk. Immune interventions in diabetic wounds face a possible contradiction between simultaneous establishment of the pro-inflammatory microenvironment in response to potential bacterial invasion and the anti-inflammatory microenvironment required for tissue repair. To study this contradiction and accelerate diabetic-wound healing, we developed a photocurable methacryloxylated silk fibroin hydrogel (Sil-MA) system, co-encapsulated with metformin-loaded mesoporous silica microspheres (MET@MSNs) and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). RESULTS The hydrogel system (M@M-Ag-Sil-MA) enhanced diabetic-wound healing via spatiotemporal immunomodulation. Sil-MA imparts a hydrogel system with rapid in situ Ultra-Violet-photocurable capability and allows preliminary controlled release of Ag NPs, which can inhibit bacterial aggregation and create a stable, sterile microenvironment. The results confirmed the involvement of Met in the immunomodulatory effects following spatiotemporal dual-controlled release via the mesoporous silica and Sil-MA. Hysteresis-released from Met shifts the M1 phenotype of macrophages in regions of diabetic trauma to an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. Simultaneously, the M@M-Ag-Sil-MA system inhibited the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and decreased the release of neutrophil elastase, myeloperoxidase, and NETs-induced pro-inflammatory factors. As a result of modulating the immune microenvironmental, the M@M-Ag-Sil-MA system promoted fibroblast migration and endothelial cell angiogenesis in vivo, with verification of enhanced diabetic-wound healing accompanied with the spatiotemporal immunoregulation of macrophages and NETs in a diabetic mouse model. CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrated that the M@M-Ag-Sil-MA hydrogel system resolved the immune contradiction in diabetic wounds through spatiotemporal immunomodulation of macrophages and NETs, suggesting its potential as a promising engineered nano-dressing for the treatment of diabetic wounds in orthopaedic surgery.
