Summary: Three biodegradable wound dressings were successfully prepared using freeze drying technique. The dressings were based on binary Collagen (COL), Hyaluronic acid (HA) crosslinked and loaded with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), Gentamicin (GENT), or AgNPs/GENT. The dressings showed physically interaction between polymer network and the loaded antibiotic, superior swelling properties, and rapid degradation. They exhibited antibacterial activity against G+, G-, yeast, and fungi. Cytotoxicity and wound healing evaluations showed superior results for all dressings except the one mixed with AgNPs and Gentamicin. The results recommended individually loaded COL/HA with either AgNPs or Gentamicin as antibacterial and wound healing dressings.

Summary: Introducing carboxylated halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) nanomaterials can improve the mechanical properties of collagen composite membranes. In this study, the grafting of polyglutamic acid (gamma-PGA) onto the surface of HNTs enhances the tensile strength and elongation at the break of the collagen membranes and inhibits the negative effects on hydrophilicity. The modified collagen-sodium alginate oxide composite membrane is non-toxic and promotes wound healing.

Summary: Collagen plays a crucial role in wound healing and is commonly used in wound management. However, its application as a film wound dressing is limited due to its weak mechanical properties when wet. In this study, collagen was combined with partially modified microfibrillar carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) to strengthen collagen films. The resulting collagen-CMC films demonstrated satisfactory properties for wound healing, even after wetting.

Summary: In this study, a theranostic dressing was developed by integrating a collagen-based wound contact layer with a halochromic dye that undergoes a color change in response to infection-associated pH changes. Two different integration strategies, drop-casting and electrospinning, were utilized to introduce long-lasting visual infection detection capability. The results showed that the drop-cast samples retained a higher percentage of the dye compared to the fiber-bearing prototypes, suggesting the potential of this design for accelerated wound healing and prompt infection diagnosis.

Summary: Joint wound dressings are limited in their clinical applications due to their mechanical properties and single therapeutic effect. To address this, a novel nanofibrous membrane composed of gelatin and astragalus polysaccharides (GEL/APS NFM) was fabricated using the electrospinning technique. GEL/APS NFM exhibited excellent biocompatibility, stretchability, and wound healing efficiency due to the optimal proportion of GEL and APS. Moreover, released APS in GEL/APS NFM promoted anti-inflammatory, procollagen deposition, and proangiogenic effects, accelerating joint wound healing.

Summary: Collagen plays a crucial role in hemostasis and tissue repair. Traditional wound dressings lack active wound healing effects and can cause dehydration and damage upon replacement. Polyester, commonly used in the medical field, does not adhere to tissue but lacks hemostatic properties. We designed a material of collagen and polyester that exhibited hydrophobic properties and encapsulated hydrolyzed collagen in polyester particles, creating a non-woven fabric. Hemostatic tests showed that the collagen-polyester dressing significantly shortened bleeding time compared to traditional polyester pads and had better angiogenesis and wound shrinkage reduction.

Summary: An anti-adhesive barrier membrane incorporating hyaluronic acid can prevent fibroblasts attachment and provide lubrication for tendon gliding, while platelet-rich plasma can release growth factors to facilitate tendon recovery and suppress inflammation. In this study, core-shell nanofiber membranes with HA/PRP-infused core and polycaprolactone shell were fabricated and evaluated. The results showed that the membranes could prevent cell penetration, reduce cell attachment, and promote tendon healing in vitro, and the HP11-P NFM exhibited improved efficacy in reducing tendon adhesion and inflammation and promoting tendon healing in vivo.

Summary: In this study, a thermosensitive hyaluronic acid-g-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) copolymer was synthesized and found to have sol-to-gel phase transition temperatures suitable for use as a scaffold for chondrocyte delivery. In vitro cell culture experiments showed that cells could proliferate in the polymer scaffold with full retention of cell viability and exhibit the phenotypic morphology of chondrocytes. In vivo studies confirmed the formation of ectopic cartilage when the polymer was used as a cell delivery vehicle. These findings suggest the promising potential of the thermosensitive hydrogel in cartilage tissue engineering applications.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.

Summary: This study explores the potential of biphenylene as a nanocarrier for the delivery of the anticancer drug cisplatin. It is found that biphenylene offers physical stability, rapid release rate, solubility, and bio-compatibilities compared to other nanocarriers. The adsorption of cisplatin on the surface of biphenylene involves charge transfer from cisplatin to biphenylene. The drug is shown to be released at body temperature in an acidic environment. Biphenylene also exhibits excellent cytotoxicity activity and cellular uptake of the drug. Overall, biphenylene shows promise as a potential nanocarrier for cisplatin delivery.

The platform consisted of large-scale arrays of gold micropillars (MPs), which were able to enhance the Raman intensity of TMDs and make difficult-to-detect Raman modes observable. The platform showed great industrial advantages and wide applicability due to its low cost, simple process, large controllable area, and short process time.
