The present review explores a novel putative nutriepigenetic framework, discussing how the honey matrix could act as a proposed modulator of the altered epigenetic landscape in non-healing ulcers. Honey contains a complex mixture of bioactive agents (polyphenols, flavonoids, and plant-derived xenomiRs) that are hypothesized to interact with multiple chromatin control points simultaneously. We discuss models wherein honey-induced aquaporin-mediated H2O2 influx and intracellular calcium transients may correlate with SIRT1\/SIRT6 modulation and CRM1-mediated nuclear export of Class IIa HDACs. This review evaluates whether such multi-target signaling could foster chromatin relaxation to support gene expression required for cell migration and tissue remodeling.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/biom16091272","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,3]],"date-time":"2026-09-03T09:20:43Z","timestamp":1788427243000},"page":"1272","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Nutriepigenetics in Skin Homeostasis: Molecular Mechanisms of Honey-Mediated Chromatin Remodeling in Non-Healing Ulcers"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7600-8215","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elia","family":"Ranzato","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"DiSIT\u2014Dipartimento di Scienze e Innovazione Tecnologica, University of Piemonte Orientale, Viale Teresa Michel 11, 15121 Alessandria, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2891-1810","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Simona","family":"Martinotti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DiSIT\u2014Dipartimento di Scienze e Innovazione Tecnologica, University of Piemonte Orientale, Viale Teresa Michel 11, 15121 Alessandria, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"100313","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijnsa.2025.100313","article-title":"The financial burden of chronic wounds in primary care: A real-world data analysis on cost and prevalence","volume":"8","year":"2025","journal-title":"Int.
