Background:

• Skin wound healing is a complex biological process often impaired in conditions like diabetic ulcers.
• Delayed or non-healing wounds represent a significant clinical challenge, necessitating deeper understanding of cellular and molecular mechanisms.
• Current knowledge gaps hinder effective therapeutic strategies for various skin injuries.

Purpose of the Study:

• To explore the application value of single-cell sequencing (SCS) in understanding skin wound healing.
• To discuss the impact of recent advancements in SCS on skin wound repair research.
• To evaluate the clinical utility of SCS in developing novel wound healing treatments.

Main Methods:

• Utilizing single-cell sequencing (SCS) to analyze genetic messages at the individual cell level.
• Employing SCS to accurately detect cell expression and gene sequences within the wound microenvironment.
• Reviewing current literature on SCS applications in skin wound healing research.

Main Results:

• SCS technology has introduced novel concepts and improved understanding of wound healing mechanisms.
• SCS enables precise analysis of cellular heterogeneity and dynamic changes during healing.
• Identification of potential biomarkers for accelerated wound repair and reduced scarring is facilitated by SCS.

Conclusions:

• Single-cell sequencing is a powerful tool for elucidating skin wound healing at the cellular and molecular levels.
• SCS applications hold significant promise for developing targeted therapies, optimizing drug delivery, and enabling personalized wound care.
