Abstract
Dermal wounds are a major global health burden made worse by common comorbidities such as diabetes and infection. Appropriate wound closure relies on a highly coordinated series of cellular events, ultimately bridging tissue gaps and regenerating normal physiological structures. Wound dressings are an important component of wound care management, providing a barrier against external insults while preserving the active reparative processes underway within the wound bed. The development of wound dressings with biomaterial constituents has become an attractive design strategy due to the varied functions intrinsic in biological polymers, such as cell instructiveness, growth factor binding, antimicrobial properties, and tissue integration. Using photosensitive agents to generate crosslinked or photopolymerized dressings in situ provides an opportunity to develop dressings rapidly within the wound bed, facilitating robust adhesion to the wound bed for greater barrier protection and adaptation to irregular wound shapes. Despite the popularity of this fabrication approach, relatively few experimental wound dressings have undergone preclinical translation into animal models, limiting the overall integrity of assessing their potential as effective wound dressings. Here, we provide an up-to-date narrative review of reported photoinitiator- and wavelength-guided design strategies for in situ light activation of biomaterial dressings that have been evaluated in preclinical wound healing models.

Controlled Release of Epidermal Growth Factor from Furfuryl-Gelatin Hydrogel Using in Situ Visible Light-Induced Crosslinking and Its Effects on Fibroblasts Proliferation and Migration. Gels 2022; 8:gels8040214. [PMID: 35448115 PMCID: PMC9032874 DOI: 10.3390/gels8040214] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2022] [Revised: 03/25/2022] [Accepted: 03/28/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Hydrogels are widely used in tissue engineering as materials that regulate cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. They also act as promising biomaterials that can provide a variety of stimuli by influencing the surrounding microenvironment, which can be achieved by modulating their mechanical properties, thereby aiding soluble factor delivery. Here, we developed a gelatin-based injectable hydrogel that has controllable mechanical properties and demonstrates sustained drug release without the need for invasive surgery. Gelatin was modified with furfuryl groups, and riboflavin phosphate was used as a photoinitiator to crosslink the hydrogel using visible light. A hydrogel–with a storage modulus in the range of 0.2–15 kPa was formed by maintaining the concentration of furfuryl-gelatin within 10–30% w/v. Consequently, their mechanical properties can be tailored for their applications. The furfuryl-gelatin hydrogel was loaded with maleimide-modified epidermal growth factor (EGF) as a model drug to achieve a controlled-release system. The sustained release of maleimide-EGF due to gelatin hydrogel matrix degradation was observed. Cell proliferation and scratch assays were performed to verify its effect on fibroblasts. When EGF was physically entrapped in the hydrogel matrix, the released EGF considerably affected cell proliferation and scratch closure of fibroblasts at the beginning of the culture. By contrast, maleimide-EGF was released sustainably and steadily and affected cell proliferation and scratch closure after the initial stage. We demonstrated that the release of soluble factors could be controlled by modulating the mechanical properties. Thus, the injectable hydrogel formed by in situ visible light-induced crosslinking could be a promising biomaterial for tissue engineering and biomedical therapeutics.

Abstract
Introduction: Water soluble polysaccharides are versatile structural materials that can be used for the design of biocompatible hydrogels and wet dressings in wound healing applications. Glycol chitosan (GC) is an example of a multifunctional water-soluble chitosan derivative that has inherent wound healing properties and reactive sites for chemical modification.Areas covered: United States (US) patent US2019202998A1 describes the preparation of a novel wound healing technology based on a three-dimensional (3D) crosslinked GC hydrogel (GCH) wet dressing, prepared via the synthesis of PEG1K-biscarboxylic acid-g-Glycol Chitosan-g-methacrylate using visible light induced photocrosslinking. The selected polymeric network enables the encapsulation of additional growth factors or bioactives on reactive sites. Wet dressings in US2019202998A1 were evaluated against a commercially available control for in vitro release, cytotoxicity, and in vivo wound healing ability in a preliminary mouse model, with the overall wound healing performance consistent with related GC-based hydrogels.Expert opinion: Comprehensive biocompatibility and antimicrobial testing of the hydrogel is not reported in US2019202998A1, and is recommended as further work to enable clinical applicability. The invention disclosed in US2019202998A1 can potentially be integrated with 3D bioprinting and sensor technology for the preparation of 'smart' hydrogel wound dressings, and is a potential area for future research.

Abstract
Herein, we discuss the effect of electron density in a furan pendant group on the thermally reversible Diels–Alder (DA) reaction based self-healing efficiency in polymethacrylate derivatives. First, the furan-functionalized polymethacrylates (rPFMA and dPFMA) having different electron density in the furan pendant groups were prepared through free-radical polymerization. The healing efficiency of rPFMA, which was expected to have high healing efficiency due to the high reactivity of DA reaction originating from the electron density in the furan moiety, was shown to be 95.89% in the first and 69.86% in the second healing process, respectively, where it is higher than that of dPFMA having relatively low electron density in the furan moiety. To illustrate these results, kinetic tests of the DA reaction for rPFMA64 and dPFMA64 were performed, where the reactivity of the DA reaction for rPFMA64 was much higher than that for dPFMA64. This could be explained by the electron density in the furan pendant groups which controls the reactivity of DA reaction having a major effect on the efficiency of self-healing performance in furan-functionalized polymethacrylates. Herein, we discuss the effect of electron density in a furan pendant group on the thermally reversible Diels–Alder (DA) reaction based self-healing efficiency in polymethacrylate derivatives.![]()

Abstract
Treatment of acute and chronic wounds is one of the primary challenges faced by doctors. Bioderived materials have significant potential clinical value in tissue injury treatment and defect reconstruction. Various strategies, including drug loading, addition of metallic element(s), cross-linking and combining two or more distinct types of materials with complementary features, have been used to synthesize more suitable materials for wound healing. In this review, we describe the recent developments made in the processing of bioderived materials employed for cutaneous wound healing, including newly developed materials such as keratin and soy protein. The focus was on the key properties of the bioderived materials that have shown great promise in improving wound healing, restoration and reconstruction. With their good biocompatibility, nontoxic catabolites, microinflammation characteristics, as well as their ability to induce tissue regeneration and reparation, the bioderived materials have great potential for skin tissue repair.
