Wound healing is a highly orchestrated, multiphase process that involves various cell types and molecular pathways. Recent advances in single-cell transcriptomics and machine learning have provided unprecedented insights into the complexity of this process, enabling the identification of novel cellular subpopulations and molecular mechanisms underlying tissue repair. In particular, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has revealed significant cellular heterogeneity, especially within fibroblast populations, and has provided valuable information on immune cell dynamics during healing. Machine learning algorithms have enhanced data analysis by improving cell clustering, dimensionality reduction, and trajectory inference, leading to a better understanding of wound healing at the single-cell level. This review synthesizes the latest findings on the application of scRNA-seq and machine learning in wound healing research, with a focus on fibroblast diversity, immune responses, and spatial organization of cells. The integration of these technologies has the potential to revolutionize therapeutic strategies for chronic wounds, fibrosis, and tissue regeneration, offering new opportunities for precision medicine. By combining computational approaches with biological insights, this review highlights the transformative impact of scRNA-seq and machine learning on wound healing research.
伤口愈合是一个高度协调的多阶段过程,涉及多种细胞类型和分子途径。单细胞转录组学和机器学习的最新进展为这一过程的复杂性提供了前所未有的见解,能够识别组织修复背后的新型细胞亚群和分子机制。特别是,单细胞RNA测序(scRNA-seq)揭示了显著的细胞异质性,尤其是在成纤维细胞群体中,并提供了愈合过程中免疫细胞动态的宝贵信息。机器学习算法通过改进细胞聚类、降维和轨迹推断增强了数据分析,从而在单细胞水平上更好地理解伤口愈合。本综述综合了scRNA-seq和机器学习在伤口愈合研究中的最新应用成果,重点关注成纤维细胞多样性、免疫反应和细胞的空间组织。这些技术的整合有可能彻底改变慢性伤口、纤维化和组织再生的治疗策略,为精准医学提供新的机会。通过将计算方法与生物学见解相结合,本综述突出了scRNA-seq和机器学习对伤口愈合研究的变革性影响。
