Summary: This study investigated the potential of polysaccharide isolated from Moringa oleifera seed and its nanocomposite with silver as alternative wound dressing materials. The synthesized MOS-PS-AgNPs showed no cytotoxicity towards mouse fibroblast cells, promoted in-vitro migration, and exhibited strong antimicrobial activity against wound infectious pathogenic bacteria. Overall, the results indicated that MOS-PS-AgNPs might be an excellent candidate for optimal wound dressing materials.

Summary: This study demonstrates the potential application of functionalized gold nanorods with antimicrobial peptides in photothermal therapy for bacterial infections. The conjugation of peptides increased selectivity, antimicrobial activity, and biocompatibility of the gold nanorods. The experiments conducted in vitro and in a mouse model of wound infection highlight the effective antimicrobial effects and wound healing properties of the peptide-functionalized gold nanorods with and without laser irradiation.

Summary: The growing demand for personalized medicine requires innovative drug manufacturing using 3D printing technology to produce hydrogels for controlled drug delivery. This study explored the use of chitosan/alginate-based hydrogels loaded with silver sulfadiazine for wound healing. Different 3D chitosan/alginate architectures were designed to modulate drug release, and significant differences were observed in terms of elasticity, water content, and antimicrobial potency.

Summary: The study developed a chitosan-based hydrogel containing silver nanoparticles and calcium alginate nanoparticles, which exhibited broad spectrum antimicrobial properties against both Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria, and significantly improved wound closure in diabetic rats. By incorporating fresh blood into the hydrogel, growth factors, platelets, circulatory fibrocytes, and cytokines were supplied to enhance the wound healing mechanism, providing a novel approach for diabetic wound healing.
