Wound healing can lead to complex clinical problems, hence finding an efficient approach to
enhance the healing process is necessary. An ideal wound dressing should treat wounds at …

In order to develop better wound dressings, a novel chitosan hydrogel (Cn-Nm gel) was
designed and fabricated by using aldehyde-4-arm polyethylene glycol (4r-PEG-CHO) to …

Biomaterials are being extensively used in regenerative medicine including tissue
engineering applications, as these enhance tissue development, repair, and help in the …

Advanced development of chitosan hydrogels has led to new drug delivery systems that can
release their active ingredients in response to environmental stimuli. This review considers …

Chitosan (CS) is a linear polysaccharide which is achieved by deacetylation of chitin, which
is the second most plentiful compound in nature, after cellulose. It is a linear copolymer of β …

Functional active wound dressings are expected to provide a moist wound environment,
offer protection from secondary infections, remove wound exudate and accelerate tissue …

Curcumin derivatives have been well-documented due to their natural antioxidant,
antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities. Curcuminoids have also gained widespread …

The hydrogel wound dressing with self-healing and adhesive property can provide better
protection to the wound and prolong the service life of the material. Inspired by mussels, a …

Hydrogels are widely used as debriding agents on account of providing a moist environment
for wound healing, however the lack of mechanical strength, angiogenesis and antibacterial …
