Abstract
The promising field of regenerative medicine is thrilling as it can repair and restore organs for various debilitating diseases. Mesenchymal stem cells are one of the main components in regenerative medicine that work through the release of secretomes. By adopting the use of the secretome in cell-free-based therapy, we may be able to address the challenges faced in cell-based therapy. As one of the components of cell-free-based therapy, secretome has the advantage of a better safety and efficacy profile than mesenchymal stem cells. However, secretome has its challenges that need to be addressed, such as its bioprocessing methods that may impact the secretome content and its mechanisms of action in clinical settings. Effective and standardization of bioprocessing protocols are important to ensure the supply and sustainability of secretomes for clinical applications. This may eventually impact its commercialization and marketability. In this review, the bioprocessing methods and their impacts on the secretome profile and treatment are discussed. This improves understanding of its fundamental aspects leading to potential clinical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the paracrine effects of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) have been recognized as crucial mediators of their regenerative effects on tissue repair, the potential of MSC secretomes as effective substitutes for cellular therapies remains underexplored. METHODS In this study, we compared MSCs from the human dermis (DSCs) and adipose tissue (ASCs) with their secretomes regarding their efficacy for skin wound healing using a translationally relevant murine model. RESULTS Proteomic analysis revealed that while there was a substantial overlap in protein composition between DSC and ASC secretomes, specific proteins associated with wound healing and angiogenesis were differentially expressed. Despite a similar angiogenic potential in vivo, DSC and ASC secretomes were found to be less effective than cells in accelerating wound closure and promoting tissue remodeling. CONCLUSIONS Overall, secretome-treated groups showed intermediary results between cells- and control-treated (empty scaffold) groups. These findings highlight that although secretomes possess therapeutic potential, their efficacy might be limited compared to cellular therapies. This study contributes to the growing understanding of MSC secretomes, emphasizes the need for further protocol optimization, and offers insights into their potential applications in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
The reconstruction of blood vessels plays a critical role in the tissue regeneration process. However, existing wound dressings in tissue engineering face challenges due to inadequate revascularization induction and a lack of vascular structure. In this study, we report the modification of mesoporous silica nanospheres (MSNs) with liquid crystal (LC) to enhance bioactivity and biocompatibility in vitro. This LC modification facilitated crucial cellular processes such as the proliferation, migration, spreading, and expression of angiogenesis-related genes and proteins in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Furthermore, we incorporated LC-modified MSN within a hydrogel matrix to create a multifunctional dressing that combines the biological benefits of LC-MSN with the mechanical advantages of a hydrogel. Upon application to full-thickness wounds, these composite hydrogels exhibited accelerated healing, evidenced by enhanced granulation tissue formation, increased collagen deposition, and improved vascular development. Our findings suggest that the LC-MSN hydrogel formulation holds significant promise for the repair and regeneration of soft tissues.

Abstract
Chronic wounds are non-healing wounds characterized by a prolonged inflammation phase. Excessive inflammation leads to elevated protease levels and consequently to a decrease in growth factors at wound sites. Stem cell secretome therapy has been identified as a treatment strategy to modulate the microenvironment of chronic wounds via supplementation with anti-inflammatory/growth factors. However, there is a need to develop better secretome delivery systems that are able to encapsulate the secretome without denaturation, in a sustained manner, and that are fully biocompatible. To address this gap, a recombinant squid suckerin-spider silk fusion protein is developed with cell-adhesion motifs capable of thermal gelation at physiological temperatures to form hydrogels for encapsulation and subsequent release of the stem cell secretome. Freeze-thaw treatment of the protein hydrogel results in a modified porous cryogel that maintains slow degradation and sustained secretome release. Chronic wounds of diabetic mice treated with the secretome-laden cryogel display increased wound closure, presence of endothelial cells, granulation wound tissue thickness, and reduced inflammation with no fibrotic scar formation. Overall, these in vivo indicators of wound healing demonstrate that the fusion protein hydrogel displays remarkable potential as a delivery system for secretome-assisted chronic wound healing.

Abstract
Skin is the largest organ in the body and the first defense to resist various diseases and external stimuli that easily cause infection and inflammation. Aseptic inflammation, barrier damage, and foreign aid pressure induce the destruction and damage to the skin microenvironment. Subsequently, it destroys the skin's physiological function, leading to the maintenance and circulation of steady-state imbalance and aggravating the process of skin disorders. Our study evaluated the therapeutic potential of the secretome of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-CM) for dermatological diseases in adult human skin cells, ex vivo skin tissue, and a 3D skin model. Our data suggested several advantages of UC-CM due to (1) their low cytotoxicity and sensitization properties; (2) their anti-inflammatory capacity for treating inflammatory chronic cutaneous diseases; (3) their enhanced capacity of the skin barrier for treating abnormal barrier metabolism; and (4) their positive impact on restoring skin homeostasis due to effective regulation ability of skin physiological function including cell apoptosis, detoxification, and anti-aging. We thus envisage that the possibility of harnessing the therapeutic potential of UC-CM might benefit patients suffering from inflammatory skin disorders such as atopic dermatitis, acne, and psoriasis.

Abstract
Facial skin nonsurgical resurfacing modalities, including laser, chemical peeling, and microneedling, have become common due to increasing public concern about skin aging. The potential effect of stem cell conditioned medium (CM) for antiaging has been reported in recent years, and such medium may be able to improve the efficacy of resurfacing modalities. This study investigated the efficacy of topical CM combined with resurfacing in comparison with resurfacing alone. We searched the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). We used the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool (version 2) to assess the risk of bias of the included studies and Review Manager (version 5.4) for data analysis. Means and standard deviations of outcomes, namely wrinkle, pigmentation, pore, and overall improvement, were extracted. After screening, we included five RCTs in the analysis, four of which were quantitatively analyzed. The result revealed that stem cell CM significantly reduced wrinkles (P = 0.0006), pigmentation (P = 0.004), and pores (P = 0.01) and improved overall skin condition (P < 0.0001). In summary, we suggest that stem cell CM is a safe treatment that can enhance the efficacy of facial skin nonsurgical resurfacing modalities.Level of Evidence III This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nano-scale vesicles derived by cell secretion with unique advantages such as promoting cell proliferation, anti-inflammation, promoting blood vessels and regulating cell differentiation, which benefit their wide applications in regenerative medicine. However, the in vivo therapeutic effect of EVs still greatly restricted by several obstacles, including the off-targetability, rapid blood clearance, and undesired release. To address these issues, biomedical engineering techniques are vastly explored. This review summarizes different strategies to enhance EV functions from the perspective of drug loading, modification, and combination of biomaterials, and emphatically introduces the latest developments of functionalized EV-loaded biomaterials in different diseases, including cardio-vascular system diseases, osteochondral disorders, wound healing, nerve injuries. Challenges and future directions of EVs are also discussed.

Abstract
There is significant interest in using stem cells in the management of cutaneous wounds. However, potential safety, efficacy, and cost problems associated with whole-cell transplantation hinder their clinical application. Secretome, a collective of mesenchymal stem-cell-stored paracrine factors, and immunomodulatory cytokines offer therapeutic potential as a cell-free therapy for the treatment of cutaneous wounds. This review explores the possibility of secretome as a treatment for cutaneous wounds and tissue regeneration. The review mainly focuses on in vitro and in vivo investigations that use biomaterials and secretome together to treat wounds, extend secretome retention, and control release to preserve their biological function. The approaches employed for the fabrication of biomaterials with condition media or extracellular vesicles are discussed to identify their future clinical application in wound treatment.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Diabetic ulcer is a common complication of diabetes. Therapies of diabetic ulcer are still challenging due to the complicated aetiology. Ruyi Jinhuang Powder (RJP) is gradually adopted to treat diabetic ulcer and has a significant therapeutic effect. AIM OF THE STUDY To investigate the therapeutic potential for diabetic ulcer in vivo and in vitro, we explored whether and how RJP influences wound healing in mice and fibroblasts at the tissular, cellular and molecular levels. MATERIALS AND METHODS The chemical composition of RJP was identified by HPLC. Streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic mice were used to confirm the curative effect of RJP in vivo. Besides, the impact of RJP in stimulating fibroblasts proliferation, migration and reducing inflammation was studied through CCK-8 assay, cell scratch assay, PCR, WB, etc. RESULTS: A total of 17 compounds were identified in RJP by HPLC. Our data indicated that RJP promoted fibroblasts proliferation and migration via activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Consistently, RNA-seq analysis of mice skin samples also showed that the shared differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between RJP group and control group were most enriched in wnt signaling pathway. These DEGs were closely related with wound repair. In addition, the anti-inflammation effect of RJP was also confirmed through downregulation of IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-10 expression levels. These biological effects were reduced when the Wnt/β-catenin signaling was blocked. The in vivo study also demonstrated the effect of RJP in improving epidermal wound closure, which was consistent with the in vitro results. CONCLUSIONS Topical application of RJP was effective in treating diabetic ulcer. This research is helpful to provide new insights and evidence into the role of RJP in accelerating unhealing wound and reducing wound inflammation.

Abstract
Cartilage repair has been a challenge in the medical field for many years. Although treatments that alleviate pain and injury are available, none can effectively regenerate the cartilage. Currently, regenerative medicine and tissue engineering are among the developed strategies to treat cartilage injury. The use of stem cells, associated or not with scaffolds, has shown potential in cartilage regeneration. However, it is currently known that the effect of stem cells occurs mainly through the secretion of paracrine factors that act on local cells. In this review, we will address the use of the secretome—a set of bioactive factors (soluble factors and extracellular vesicles) secreted by the cells—of mesenchymal stem cells as a treatment for cartilage regeneration. We will also discuss methodologies for priming the secretome to enhance the chondroregenerative potential. In addition, considering the difficulty of delivering therapies to the injured cartilage site, we will address works that use hydrogels functionalized with growth factors and secretome components. We aim to show that secretome-functionalized hydrogels can be an exciting approach to cell-free cartilage repair therapy.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC)-conditioned medium (CM) offers a potential opportunity in the skin wound healing treatment. In this systematic review, an overview of the knowledge on this topic has been provided. A multistep search of the PubMed, Scopus and Science Direct database has been performed to identify papers on MSCs-conditional media used in skin wound healing. Eligibility checks were performed based upon predefined selection criteria. Of the 485 articles initially identified, consequently, only 96 articles apparently related to MSC-conditional media were initially assessed for eligibility. Finally, the 32 articles, strictly regarding the in vitro use of MSCs-conditional media in skin wounds, were analysed. The information analysed highlights the efficacy of MSCs-conditional media on skin wound healing in vitro models. The outcome of this review may be used to guide pre-clinical and clinical studies on the role of MSCs-conditional media in skin wound healing.

Abstract
The progressively increasing use of nanomaterials (NMs) has awakened issues related to nanosafety and its potential toxic effects on human health. Emerging studies suggest that NMs alter cell communication by reshaping and altering the secretion of extracellular vesicles (EVs), leading to dysfunction in recipient cells. However, there is limited understanding of how the physicochemical characteristics of NMs alter the EV content and their consequent physiological functions. Therefore, this review explored the relevance of EVs in the nanotoxicology field. The current state of the art on how EVs are modulated by NM exposure and the possible regulation and modulation of signaling pathways and physiological responses were assessed in detail. This review followed the manual for reviewers produced by The Joanna Brigs Institute for Scoping Reviews and the PRISMA extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR): checklist and explanation. The research question, "Do NMs modulate cellular responses mediated by EVs?" was analyzed following the PECO model (P (Population) = EVs, E (Exposure) = NMs, C (Comparator) = EVs without exposure to NMs, O (Outcome) = Cellular responses/change in EVs) to help methodologically assess the association between exposure and outcome. For each theme in the PECO acronym, keywords were defined, organized, and researched in PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, Web of Science, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases, up to 30 September 2021. In vitro, in vivo, ex vivo, and clinical studies that analyzed the effect of NMs on EV biogenesis, cargo, and cellular responses were included in the analysis. The methodological quality assessment was conducted using the ToxRTool, ARRIVE guideline, Newcastle Ottawa and the EV-TRACK platform. The search in the referred databases identified 2944 articles. After applying the eligibility criteria and two-step screening, 18 articles were included in the final review. We observed that depending on the concentration and physicochemical characteristics, specific NMs promote a significant increase in EV secretion as well as changes in their cargo, especially regarding the expression of proteins and miRNAs, which, in turn, were involved in biological processes that included cell communication, angiogenesis, and activation of the immune response, etc. Although further studies are necessary, this work suggests that molecular investigations on EVs induced by NM exposure may become a potential tool for toxicological studies since they are widely accessible biomarkers that may form a bridge between NM exposure and the cellular response and pathological outcome.

Abstract
Skin aging is predominantly caused by either intrinsic or extrinsic factors, leading to undesirable skin features. Advancements in both molecular and cellular fields have created possibilities in developing novel stem cell-derived active ingredients for cosmeceutical applications and the beauty industry. Mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC)-derived secretomes or conditioned media hold great promise for advancing skin repair and regeneration due to the presence of varying cytokines. These cytokines signal our cells and trigger biological mechanisms associated with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-aging, proliferative, and immunomodulatory effects. In this review, we discuss the potential of MSC secretomes as novel biomaterials for skincare and rejuvenation by illustrating their mechanism of action related to wound healing, anti-aging, and whitening properties. The advantages and disadvantages of secretomes are compared to both plant-based and animal-derived extracts. In addition, this paper reviews the current safety standards, regulations, market products and research work related to the cosmeceutical applications of secretomes along with strategies to maintain and improve the therapeutic efficacy and production of secretomes. The future outlook of beauty industry is also presented. Lastly, we highlight significant challenges to be addressed for the clinical realization of MSC secretomes-based skin therapies as well as providing perspectives for the future direction of secretomes.

Abstract
Secretomes of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been successfully studied in preclinical models for several biomedical applications, including tissue engineering, drug delivery, and cancer therapy. Hydrogels are known to imitate a three-dimensional extracellular matrix to offer a friendly environment for stem cells; therefore, hydrogels can be used as scaffolds for tissue construction, to control the distribution of bioactive compounds in tissues, and as a secretome-producing MSC culture media. The administration of a polymeric hydrogel-based MSC secretome has been shown to overcome the fast clearance of the target tissue. In vitro studies confirm the bioactivity of the secretome encapsulated in the gel, allowing for a controlled and sustained release process. The findings reveal that the feasibility of polymeric hydrogels as MSC -secretome delivery systems had a positive influence on the pace of tissue and organ regeneration, as well as an enhanced secretome production. In this review, we discuss the widely used polymeric hydrogels and their advantages as MSC secretome delivery systems in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Intensive studies on stem cell therapy reveal that benefits of stem cells attribute to the paracrine effects. Hence, direct delivery of stem cell secretome to the injured site shows the comparative therapeutic efficacy of living cells while avoiding the potential limitations. However, conventional systemic administration of stem cell secretome often leads to rapid clearance in vivo. Therefore, a variety of different biomaterials are developed for sustained and controllable delivery of stem cell secretome to improve therapeutic efficiency. In this review, we first introduce current approaches for the preparation and characterization of stem cell secretome as well as strategies to improve their therapeutic efficacy and production. The up-to-date delivery platforms are also summarized, including nanoparticles, injectable hydrogels, microneedles, and scaffold patches. Meanwhile, we discuss the underlying therapeutic mechanism of stem cell secretome for the treatment of various diseases. In the end, future opportunities and challenges are proposed.

Abstract
A short bioinspired octapeptide, GV8, can self-assemble under mild conditions into biodegradable supramolecular physical hydrogels with high storage modulus and good biocompatibility. GV8 hydrogels can encapsulate both single or multiple macromolecular protein-based therapeutics in a simple one-pot formulation manner, making it a promising candidate to address challenges faced by existing synthetic polymer or peptide hydrogels with complex gelation and drug-encapsulation processes. Alongside its versatility, the hydrogel exhibits concentration-dependent storage modulus and controlled drug-release action. We demonstrate that GV8 hydrogels loaded with adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSC) secretome remain mechanically robust, and exhibit promising potential for wound healing applications by preserving secretome activity while maintaining a constant supply of ADMSC secretome to promote epithelial cell migration. Overall, our work highlights the potential of GV8 peptide hydrogel as a versatile and safe carrier for encapsulation and delivery of macromolecular therapeutics. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Supramolecular peptide hydrogels are a popular choice for protein-based macromolecular therapeutics delivery; however, despite the development of abundant hydrogel systems, several challenges limit their adaptability and practical applications. GV8 short peptide hydrogel circumvents these drawbacks and demonstrates the ability to function as a versatile growth factor (GF) encapsulant. It can encapsulate precise concentrations of complex adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells secretome mixtures with a one-pot formulation approach and perform controlled release of GFs with preserved activity without compromising the self-assembly and mechanical properties of the hydrogel's supramolecular network. The significance of GV8 hydrogel lies in its gelation simplicity and versatility to encapsulate and deliver macromolecular therapeutics, thus representing a promising biomaterial for regenerative medicine applications.

Abstract
Secretome, also known as conditioned medium, is a secreted molecule from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that has a variety of biological activities that can be used in various therapies, especially on the skin applications. A lack of conventional therapies makes secretome as a promising alternative therapy. The presence of growth factors, cytokines, and extracellular vesicles including microvesicles and exosomes in secretome has been widely reported, which serves in improving the proliferation and migration of cells to help in skin regeneration. Therefore, we were able to optimize the use of this secretome in a well-needed special review related to its work in addressing various skin problems. So, in this article, we discussed the benefits and biological activity of secretome on the skin application. This review was compiled based on the approval of several sites, such as Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar with the terms "MSC secretome for skin," "secretome for skin," "secretome dermatology," "secretome conditioned medium for skin," "secretome conditioned medium for skin wound," "secretome conditioned medium for aging," "secretome conditioned medium for hair growth," and "secretome conditioned medium for psoriasis." A total of 215 articles were collected for selection, of which 90 articles were used. Based on the results, it was concluded that secretome has a variety of useful activities to regenerate and repair tissue damage that have not been used on the skin, such as for wound healing, photoprotection, promotion of hair growth, psoriasis treatment, and other application as antimicrobial.

Abstract
Chronic wounds do not progress through the wound healing process in a timely manner and are considered a burden for healthcare system; they are also the most common reason for decrease in patient quality of life. Traditional wound dressings e.g., bandages and gauzes, although highly absorbent and effective for dry to mild, exudating wounds, require regular application, which therefore can cause pain upon dressing change. In addition, they have poor adhesional properties and cannot provide enough drainage for the wound. In this regard, the normalization of the healing process in chronic wounds is an extremely urgent task of public health and requires the creation and implementation of affordable dressings for patients with chronic wounds. Modern wound dressings (WDs) are aimed to solve these issues. At the same time, hydrogels, unlike other types of modern WDs (foam, films, hydrocolloids), have positive degradation properties that makes them the perfect choice in applications where a targeted delivery of bioactive substances to the wound is required. This mini review is focused on different types of traditional and modern WDs with an emphasis on hydrogels. Advantages and disadvantages of traditional and modern WDs as well as their applicability to different chronic wounds are elucidated. Furthermore, an effectiveness comparison between hydrogel WDs and the some of the frequently used biotechnologies in the field of regenerative medicine (adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs), mesenchymal stem cells, conditioned media, platelet-rich plasma (PRP)) is provided.

Abstract
Adipose tissue-derived microvascular fragments (MVF) serve as vascularization units in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Because a three-dimensional cellular arrangement has been shown to improve cell function, we herein generated for the first time MVF spheroids to investigate whether this further increases their vascularization potential. These spheroids exhibited a morphology, size, and viability comparable to that of previously introduced stromal vascular fraction (SVF) spheroids. However, MVF spheroids contained a significantly higher number of CD31-positive endothelial cells and α-smooth muscle actin (SMA)-positive perivascular cells, resulting in an enhanced angiogenic sprouting activity. Accordingly, they also exhibited an improved in vivo vascularization and engraftment after transplantation into mouse dorsal skinfold chambers. These findings indicate that MVF spheroids are superior to SVF spheroids and, thus, may be highly suitable to improve the vascularization of tissue defects and implanted tissue constructs.

Abstract
Chronic wounds continue to be a substantial public health concern contributing to both humanistic and economic burden worldwide. The magnitude of chronic wounds as a global healthcare crisis is likely to increase due to the rising geriatric and diabetic population, demanding novel therapeutic approaches that can restore the functionality of the skin at a reduced cost. Stem cell therapy has been widely acknowledged as a promising strategy for the repair of damaged tissues due to its regenerative potential. This potential attributes to a concoction of bioactive molecules secreted by the stem cells, collectively called the secretome, that mediates paracrine and autocrine functions. Among the stem cell types, adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) have been receiving increased attention for its ease of isolation, abundance in tissue and notable impact on improving chronic wound healing. Owing to the reported advantages of cell-free preparations like the secretome over cellular products, developing secretome as a ready-to-use product for wound healing applications seems promising. In this review, we discuss the functional benefits of adipose stem cell secretome in wound healing, the techniques to enrich the secretome and the recommendations for the scale-up and commercialization of secretome products.

Abstract
In orchestrating the wound healing process, the immune system plays a critical role. Hence, controlling the immune system to repair skin defects is an attractive approach. The highly complex immune system includes the coordinated actions of several immune cells, which can produce various inflammatory and antiinflammatory cytokines and affect the healing of skin wounds. This process can be optimized using biomaterials, bioactive molecules, and cell delivery. The present review discusses various immunomodulation strategies for supporting the healing of chronic wounds. In this regard, following the evolution of the immune system and its role in the wound healing mechanism, the interaction between the extracellular mechanism and immune cells for acceleration wound healing will be firstly investigated. Consequently, the immune-based chronic wounds will be briefly examined and the mechanism of progression, and conventional methods of their treatment are evaluated. In the following, various biomaterials-based immunomodulation strategies are introduced to stimulate and control the immune system to treat and regenerate skin defects. Other effective methods of controlling the immune system in wound healing which is the release of bioactive agents (such as antiinflammatory, antigens, and immunomodulators) and stem cell therapy at the site of injury are reviewed.

Abstract
The skin is the largest organ of the human body, and its dysfunction is related to many diseases. There is a need to find new potential effective therapies for some skin conditions such as inflammatory diseases, wound healing, or hair restoration. Mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC)-conditioned medium (CM) provides a potential opportunity in the treatment of skin disease. Thus, the objective of this review is to evaluate the uses of MSC-CM for treating skin diseases in both animal and human models. A systematic review was conducted regarding the use of MSC-CM for treating skin conditions. One hundred one studies were analyzed. MSC-CM was evaluated in wound healing (55), hypertrophic scars (9), flap reperfusion (4), hair restoration (15), skin rejuvenation (15), and inflammatory skin diseases (3). MSC-CM was obtained from different MSC sources, mainly adipose tissue, bone marrow, and umbilical cord blood. MSC-CM was tested intravenously, intraperitoneally, subcutaneously, intradermally or intralesionally injected or topically applied. MSC-CM was used in both animals and humans. MSC-CM improved wound healing, hair restoration, skin rejuvenation, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis in both animals and humans. MSC-CM also decreased hypertrophic scars and flap ischemia in animal models. In conclusion, MSC-CM is a promising therapy for skin conditions. Further studies are needed to corroborate safety and effectiveness and to standardize CM manufacturing.

Abstract
Recently, the stem cell-derived secretome, which is the set of proteins expressed by stem cells and secreted into the extracellular space, has been demonstrated as a critical contributor for tissue repair. In this study, we have produced two sets of high concentration secretomes from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) that contain bovine serum or free of exogenous molecules. Through proteomic analysis, we elucidated that proteins related to extracellular matrix organization and growth factor-related proteins are highly secreted by ADSCs. Additionally, the application of ADSC secretome to full skin defect showed accelerated wound closure, enhanced angiogenic response, and complete regeneration of epithelial gaps. Furthermore, the ADSC secretome was capable of reducing scar formation. Finally, we show high-dose injection of ADSC secretome via intraperitoneal or transdermal delivery demonstrated no detectable pathological conditions in various tissues/organs, which supports the notion that ADSC secretome can be safely utilized for tissue repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Electricity constitutes a natural biophysical component that preserves tissue homeostasis and modulates many biological processes, including the repair of damaged tissues. Wound healing involves intricate cellular events, such as inflammation, angiogenesis, matrix synthesis, and epithelialization whereby multiple cell types sense the environmental cues to rebuild the structure and functions. Here, we report that electricity auto-generating glucose-responsive enzymatic-biofuel-cell (EBC) skin patch stimulates the wound healing process. Rat wounded-skin model and in vitro cell cultures showed that EBC accelerated wound healing by modulating inflammation while stimulating angiogenesis, fibroblast fuctionality and matrix synthesis. Of note, EBC-activated cellular bahaviors were linked to the signalings involved with calcium influx, which predominantly dependent on the mechanosensitive ion channels, primarily Piezo1. Inhibition of Piezo1-receptor impaired the EBC-induced key functions of both fibroblasts and endothelial cells in the wound healing. This study highlights the significant roles of electricity played in wound healing through activated mechanosensitive ion channels and the calcium influx, and suggests the possibility of the electricity auto-generating EBC-based skin patch for use as a wound healing device.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of growth factors in tissue engineering is often challenging due to their instability and short half-life. The delivery of growth factors with nanocarriers can eliminate these problems. In the present study, we introduced an alginate oxide particle in acellular collagen-alginate composite hydrogel platform for the immobilization and controlled release of VEGF and bFGF to promote angiogenesis. METHODS The particles were prepared by the oxidation of sodium alginate. Then, they were embedded in collagen-alginate hydrogel. Cytocompatibility of the construct with the human umbilical vein endothelial cells was analyzed through a live/dead assay and scanning electron microscopy. In vitro evaluation of VEGF and bFGF Release Kinetics was done. Moreover, the function of the constructs was confirmed through the chick chorioallantoic membrane assay. RESULTS The engineered constructs maintained the human umbilical vein endothelial cells viability, which indicates the non-toxicity of the tested constructs. The presence of VEGF-loaded particles could improve the Total Branching Points in the chick chorioallantoic membrane assay. In this regard, Total Branching Points was significantly improved in the VEGF group compared to the control group (p = 0.010) and FGF group (p = 0.023). CONCLUSION The results demonstrated the potential role of these particles in regenerative medicine to improve angiogenesis.

Abstract
The administration of trophic factors (TFs) released by mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) as therapy for cardiovascular diseases requires a delivery vehicle capable of binding and releasing the TF in a sustained manner. We hypothesized that hydrogels derived from cardiac decellularized extracellular matrix (cardiac dECM) bind MSC secretome-derived TF and release these in a sustained fashion. Pig-derived ventricular tissue was decellularized, milled to powder, digested, and assembled as a hydrogel upon warming at 37 °C. The conditioned medium (CMed) of adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (ASC) was collected, concentrated, and incorporated into the hydrogel at 1×, 10×, and 100× the original concentration. The release of 11 ASC-secreted factors (angiopoietin-1, angiopoietin-2, fibroblast growth factor-1, hepatocyte growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor-AA, vascular endothelial growth factor, interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, interleukin-8, CCL2, and matrix metalloproteinase-1) from hydrogels was immune assessed. Bioactivity was determined by endothelial cell proliferation, function, and assessment of endothelial mesenchymal transition. We showed that dECM hydrogels could be loaded with human ASC-secreted TFs, which are released in a sustained manner for several days subsequently. Different trophic factors had different release kinetics, which correlates with the initial concentration of CMed in the hydrogel. We observed that the more concentrated was the hydrogel, the more inflammation-related cytokines, and the less pro-regenerative TFs were released. Finally, we showed that the factors secreted by the hydrogel are biologically active as these influence cell behavior. The use of dECM hydrogels as a platform to bind and release paracrine factors secreted by (mesenchymal) cells is a potential alternative in the context of cardiovascular regeneration.

Abstract
Skin and skin appendages are vulnerable to injury, requiring rapidly reliable regeneration methods. In recent years, 3D bioprinting has shown potential for wound repair and regeneration. 3D bioprinting can be customized for skin shape with cells and other materials distributed precisely, achieving rapid and reliable production of bionic skin substitutes, therefore, meeting clinical and industrial requirements. Additionally, it has excellent performance with high resolution, flexibility, reproducibility, and high throughput, showing great potential for the fabrication of tissue-engineered skin. This review introduces the common techniques of 3D bioprinting and their application in skin tissue engineering, focusing on the latest research progress in skin appendages (hair follicles and sweat glands) and vascularization, and summarizes current challenges and future development of 3D skin printing.

Abstract
Stem cell injections are an attractive therapeutic tool. It has been demonstrated that injected stem cells promote tissue repair and regeneration via paracrine mechanisms. However, the effects of injected stem cells continue for far longer than they are present. We hypothesized that the effects of injected stem cells are prolonged because of a sequential paracrine relay mechanism. Conditioned media was collected from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) after 24 h. This media was then added to RAW264.7. Media was collected from the macrophages after 24 h and was then added to endothelial cells (ECs). This conditioned macrophage media, but not control media, promoted wound healing and induced EC differentiation. Similar results were observed with primary macrophages. To identify the active paracrine factors released by macrophages in response to stimulation by MSC conditioned media we used an antibody array, identifying increased expression of the angiogenesis-related proteins stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF1) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1). Knockdown of either protein inhibited the ability of conditioned media derived from MSC paracrine factor-stimulated macrophages to induce EC differentiation both in vitro and in vivo. Conditioned media derived from postnatal day 7 (P7) mouse macrophages induced EC differentiation. Moreover, SDF1 and PAI-1 levels were >120 higher in P7 macrophages compared with adult macrophages, suggesting that MSC paracrine factors promote adult macrophages to adopt a juvenile phenotype. These results indicate that MSC paracrine factors induce macrophages to secrete SDF1 and PAI-1, in-turn inducing endothelial cells to differentiate. Identification of a sequential paracrine mechanism opens new therapeutic avenues for stem cell therapy.

Abstract
The therapeutic benefits of mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) transplantation have been attributed to their secreted factors, including extracellular vesicles (EVs) and soluble factors. The potential of employing the MSC secretome as an alternative acellular approach to cell therapy is being investigated in various tissue injury indications, but EVs administered via bolus injections are rapidly sequestered and cleared. However, biomaterials offer delivery platforms to enhance EV retention rates and healing efficacy. In this review, we highlight the mechanisms underpinning the therapeutic effects of MSC-EVs and soluble factors as effectors of immunomodulation and tissue regeneration, conferred primarily via their nucleic acid and protein contents. We discuss how manipulating the cell culture microenvironment or genetic modification of MSCs can further augment the potency of their secretions. The most recent advances in the development of EV-functionalized biomaterials that mediate enhanced angiogenesis and cell survival, while attenuating inflammation and fibrosis, are presented. Finally, some technical challenges to be considered for the clinical translation of biomaterials carrying MSC-secreted bioactive cargo are discussed.

Abstract
To reduce excessive scarring in wound healing, electrospun nanofibrous meshes, composed of haloarchaea-produced biodegradable elastomer poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV), are fabricated for use as a wound dressing. Three PHBV polymers with different 3HV content are used to prepare either solution-cast films or electrospun nanofibrous meshes. As 3HV content increases, the crystallinity decreases and the scaffolds become more elastic. The nanofibrous meshes exhibit greater elasticity and elongation at break than films. When used to culture human dermal fibroblasts in vitro, PHBV meshes give better cell attachment and proliferation, less differentiation to myofibroblasts, and less substrate contraction. In a full-thickness mouse wound model, treatment with films or meshes enables regeneration of pale thin tissues without scabs, dehydration, or tubercular scar formation. The epidermis of wounds treated with meshes develop small invaginations in the dermis within 2 weeks, indicating hair follicle and sweat gland regeneration. Consistent with the in vitro results, meshes reduce myofibroblast differentiation in vivo through downregulation of α-SMA and TGF-β1, and upregulation of TGF-β3. The regenerated wounds treated with meshes are softer and more elastic than those treated with films. These results demonstrate that electrospun nanofibrous PHBV meshes mitigate excessive scar formation by regulating myofibroblast formation, showing their promise for use as wound dressings.

Abstract
The ultimate purpose of this study was to develop a bioactive filler system that would allow volume restoration (passive property) and continuous release of signaling molecules to recruit soft tissues (bioactive property) and thus effectively correct facial aging. To achieve this, we prepared porous particles with a leaf-stacked structure throughout the entire particle volume (LSS particles) using a simple heating-cooling technique. LSS particles were loaded with insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) separately, by immersing the particles in signaling molecule-containing solutions for target tissue recruitment (adipose by IGF-1 and blood vessels by VEGF). IGF-1 and VEGF were continuously released from LSS particles for 28 and 21 days in vitro, respectively, even without additional chemical/physical modifications, because of the unique morphology of the particles. Signaling molecules preserved their bioactivity in vitro (induction of adipogenic and angiogenic differentiation) and in vivo (recruitment of fat and blood vessels) for a sufficient period. Moreover, it was observed that the LSS particles themselves have stable volume retention characteristics in the body. Thus, we suggest that the signaling molecule-loaded LSS particles can function as a bioactive filler system for volume retention and target tissue regeneration.

Abstract
A diabetic foot ulcer (DFUs) is a state of prolonged chronic inflammation, which can result in amputation. Different from normal skin wounds, various commercially available dressings have not sufficiently improved the healing of DFUs. In this study, a novel self-healing hydrogel was prepared by in situ crosslinking of N-carboxyethyl chitosan (N-chitosan) and adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH) with hyaluronic acid-aldehyde (HA-ALD), to provide a moist and inflammatory relief environment to promote stem cell proliferation or secretion of growth factors, thus accelerating wound healing. The results demonstrated that this injectable and self-healing hydrogel has excellent swelling properties, stability, and mechanical properties. This biocompatible hydrogel stimulated secretion of growth factors from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) and regulated the inflammatory environment by inhibiting the expression of M1 macrophages and promoting the expression of M2 macrophages, resulting in granulation tissue formation, collagen deposition, nucleated cell proliferation, neovascularization, and enhanced diabetic wound healing. This study showed that N-chitosan/HA-ALD hydrogel could be used as a multifunctional injectable wound dressing to regulate chronic inflammation and provide an optimal environment for BM-MSCs to promote diabetic wound healing.

Abstract
Secretome-based therapies have the potential to become the next generation of viable therapeutic wound repair treatments. However, precise strategies aimed to refine and control the secretome composition are necessary to enhance its therapeutic efficacy and facilitate clinical translation. In this study, we aim to accomplish this by transfecting human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) with microRNA-146a, which is a potent regulator of angiogenesis and inflammation. The secretome composition obtained from the transfected hASCs (secretome146a) was characterized and compared to nontransfected hASCs secretome to evaluate changes in angiogenic and anti-inflammatory growth factor, cytokine, and miRNA content. In vitro proliferation, migration, and tubular morphogenesis assays using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were completed to monitor the proangiogenic efficacy of the secretome146a. Finally, the anti-inflammatory efficacy of the secretome146a was assessed using HUVECs that were activated to an inflammatory state by IL-1β. The resulting HUVEC gene expression and protein activity of key inflammatory mediators were evaluated before and after secretome treatment. Overall, the secretome146a contained a greater array and concentration of therapeutic paracrine molecules, which translated into a superior angiogenic and anti-inflammatory efficacy. Therefore, this represents a promising strategy to produce therapeutic secretome for the promotion of wound repair processes.
