Various types of wounds represent a persistent healthcare burden that demands innovative and effective therapeutic solutions. Innovative approaches have emerged that focus on skin regeneration with minimal side effects. One such method is cell-free therapy that utilizes the secretome of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) as a promising alternative to traditional cell-based therapies, leveraging a complex mixture of bioactive molecules, including growth factors, cytokines, and extracellular vesicles, to accelerate tissue regeneration. This systematic review synthesizes the findings of 35 studies evaluating the impact of hMSC-derived secretomes on wound healing, with a focus on their regenerative, immunomodulatory, and angiogenic effects. The influence of MSC sources (adipose tissue, bone marrow, umbilical cord) and culture conditions on secretome composition and efficacy in the cutaneous wound healing process is examined, highlighting their therapeutic potential in regenerative medicine. This review also explores emerging preclinical and clinical applications, highlighting promising results, such as enhanced fibroblast proliferation, reduced inflammation, and improved extracellular matrix remodeling. In addition, advances in secretome-based biomaterials, including hydrogels and scaffolds, which optimize therapeutic delivery and efficacy are discussed. Despite the growing body of evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of secretomes, challenges remain regarding standardization, large-scale production, and clinical validation. This review highlights the potential of MSC-derived secretomes as a next-generation cell-free approach for wound healing and regenerative medicine.

: The increase in dengue cases in Amazonas poses a public health risk. This study aimed to examine the circulating serotypes in the region of Amazonas, Peru, from 2021 to 2023, along with the associated clinical and epidemiological characteristics. Serotype identification was determined for 420 serum samples using a multiplex real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction assay, revealing that 194 patients were infected by dengue virus (DENV)-1 and 226 by DENV-2. Both serotypes co-circulated in all affected provinces. Warning signs were more frequent in patients with DENV-2 (P = 0.004), and the manifestation of abdominal pain was correlated with this serotype (P = 0.004), highlighting its association with severe forms of the disease. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the widespread circulation of DENV-1 and DENV-2 in Amazonas. Furthermore, it underscores the importance of real-time molecular surveillance that could provide an early prognosis of disease severity.
