In this case study, a 35-year-old male with severe burn-related scalp injuries underwent successful reconstruction through tissue expansion, skin grafts, and multiple hair transplant sessions, resulting in satisfactory aesthetic and functional recovery.
This study reported that a newly developed hydrogel composed of recombinant type I collagen and chitosan, incorporating a metal–polyphenol structure, demonstrated strong mechanical and healing properties, effectively promoting wound healing in a full-thickness skin defect model.
In this study, ACF sponges with 10% fucoidan significantly promoted wound healing and hair follicle regeneration in rats, showing improved hemostatic and antibacterial performance compared to other formulations.
This review discusses the wound healing process and the factors contributing to abnormal scarring after thermal injuries, but it reports no new clinical results.
