Photobiomodulation: The Art and Science of Cellular Healing
Summary: The November/December 2025 issue of *Wound Repair and Regeneration* features cutting-edge research on regenerative therapies, biofilm management, and surgical wound complications. Key themes include stem cell-derived EVs for tissue repair, rapid biofilm diagnostics, and longitudinal outcomes in post-surgical healing. With 12 articles, it emphasizes translational applications for chronic wounds like DFUs and VLUs, supported by the Wound Healing Society.
Key Highlights:
- Focus Areas: EVs in regeneration (3 articles), biofilm/infection (2), surgical outcomes (2), biomaterials (2), basic science (3).
- Notable: Stem cell EVs for fibrosis modulation; AI-assisted biofilm detection; 5-year follow-up on mesh implants.
- Access: Open access for select articles; full issue via Wiley Online Library.
- Implications: Bridges lab-to-clinic for 20-30% faster healing in trials.
- Editors: Guest editors on EVs and infection; regular from WHS.
