  • BIOMIMETIC WOUND HEALING DEVICES AND RELATED METHODS OF TREATING DIABETIC WOUNDS
    Publication number: 20230310552
    Abstract: Bioengineered scaffolds are described, using human skin proteins in an architectural orientation that mimics the extracellular matrix, demonstrating improved cutaneous wound closure in vivo alone, and when incorporating therapeutics such as platelet-rich plasma, stem cells, and growth factors that promote accelerated wound healing compared to control therapy. An electrospun scaffold comprising human collagen I and tropoelastin in physiologically relevant amounts and proportions encourage a chronic wound that is halted in the inflammatory phase to progress into the remodeling phase. Data demonstrates full thickness, splinted wounds in diabetic mice were treated with biomimetic scaffolds to assess wound healing and the resulting remodeled tissue mechanical properties.
