Summary: In this study, a novel bilayer wound dressing made of poly(L-lactate-caprolactone) copolymer (PLCL) nanofibrous and keratin hydrogel loaded with fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) was prepared using the low-pressure filtration-assisted method. The bilayer dressing was found to mimic the dermis and epidermis. It exhibited good porosity, maximum water absorption, and tight bond at the interface. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated the biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ability to promote skin healing of the bilayer dressing, making it a promising biomedical wound dressing for skin tissue engineering applications.

Summary: In this research, chitosan-based hydrogels with integrated functionalities were easily prepared by solution polymerization. The hydrogel exhibited tough mechanical properties and moderate tissue adhesion due to the dual cross-linking between quaternized carboxymethyl chitosan and acrylamide/sodium p-styrene sulfonate. Furthermore, the hydrogel showed satisfactory biocompatibility, hemocompatibility, and excellent antibacterial ability, and it accelerated epidermal regeneration and wound closure in a rat model for bacterial infection incision.

Summary: The study showed that the presence of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) in hydrogel slowed down evaporative water loss and water vapor transmission, affecting water transport and tensile properties to varying extents depending on the PEG molecular weight. These properties are relevant to the potential use of the hydrogel as a wound dressing.
