ABSTRACT To investigate the safety, efficacy, and underlying mechanisms of triamcinolone‐acetonide‐loaded silk fibroin formulations in inhibiting scar hyperplasia rabbit ears. This study employed molecular induction self‐assembly high‐energy ball milling to prepare triamcinolone acetonide (Tr‐A)‐loaded sustained‐release microspheres, RSF‐Tr‐A, using different inducers concentrations regenerated (RSF). Bio‐safety was confirmed via CCK‐8 Live‐Dead assays. The levels growth factors inflammatory cytokines were examined through RT‐PCR. In a ear model, ultrasound Doppler assessed thickness blood flow, colorimeter recorded color changes, Masson's trichrome staining evaluated collagen content new changes. CD31 immunohistochemistry determined vascular scarred skin. RSF‐Tr‐A microsphere formulation successfully prepared. vitro tests showed good biosafety significant inhibition fibroblast proliferation migration ( p < 0.001). It also promoted apoptosis 0.001) reduced tube formation 0.01 0.05).

The orderly regulation of immune inflammation and promotion the regeneration skin vessels fibers are key to treatment diabetic injury (DSI). Although various traditional polypeptide biological dressings continue be developed, their efficacy is not satisfactory. In recent years, plant-to-mammal has provided an effective approach for chronic wound management, but development plant-based treatments remains challenging. exosomes from Chinese herbs promising healing. this study, plant derived lemons (Citrus limon) were extracted, was verified. Lemon regulated polarization reprogramming macrophages, promoted proliferation migration vascular endothelial cells fibroblasts, thus healing wounds. To solve problems continuous drug delivery penetration depth, Exosomes loaded into a hydrogel constructed Gelatin Methacryloyl (GelMA) Dialdehyde Starch (DAS) that closely fits skin, absorbs water, swells, moist breathable, effectively promoting sustained slow release resulting in excellent performance Our GelMA-DAS-Lemon (GelMA/DAS/Exo hydrogel) patch represents potentially valuable option repairing wounds clinical applications.
