Abstract

Background aimsWound healing is a multistage process that requires a concerted effort of various cell types. The intricate processes involved in the healing of wounds result in high energy requirements. Furthermore, mitochondria play a crucial role in the healing process because of their involvement in neo angiogenesis, growth factor synthesis, and cell differentiation. It is unclear how mitochondria transplantation, a promising new approach, influences wound healing. MethodsIn this study, healthy autologous mitochondria obtained from skeletal muscle were injected into chronic pressure wounds as an intervention to promote wound healing. ResultsMitochondrial transplantation accelerated wound healing by reducing wound size, increasing granulation tissue, and hastening epithelialization. ConclusionsThis study is the first to demonstrate the therapeutic efficacy of mitochondrial transplantation in wound healing.
