Abstract
Wound healing has been a challenge in the medical field. Tremendous research has been carried out to expedite wound healing by fabricating various formulations, some of which are now commercially available. However, owing to their natural source, people have been attracted to advanced formulations with herbal components. Among various herbs, curcumin has been the center of attraction from ancient times for its healing properties due to its multiple therapeutic effects, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic, neuroprotective, and radioprotective properties. However, curcumin has a low water solubility and rapidly degrades into inactive metabolites, which limits its therapeutic efficacy. Henceforth, a carrier system is needed to carry curcumin, guard it against degradation, and keep its bioavailability and effectiveness. Different formulations with curcumin have been synthesized, and exist in the form of various synthetic and natural materials, including nanoparticles, hydrogels, scaffolds, films, fibers, and nanoemulgels, improving its bioavailability dramatically. This review discusses the advances in different types of curcumin-based formulations used in wound healing in recent times, concentrating on its mechanisms of action and discussing the updates on its application at several stages of the wound healing process. Impact statement Curcumin is a herbal compound extracted from turmeric root and has been used since time immemorial for its health benefits including wound healing. In clinical formulations, curcumin shows low bioavailability, which mainly stems from the way it is delivered in the body. Henceforth, a carrier system is needed to carry curcumin, guard it against degradation, while maintaining its bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. This review offers an overview of the advanced technological interventions through tissue engineering approaches to efficiently utilize curcumin in different types of wound healing applications.

Abstract
Chitosan is widely used in reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive films but remains great challenges owing to its weak mechanical strength and strong hydrophilicity. Herein, we synthesized novel hydrophobic crosslinked CS films with ROS-responsive properties and excellent physicochemical properties. A novel crosslinker, 2-((10-carboxydecyl)thio)succinic acid, with long-chain alkanes, three carboxyl groups, and sulfhydryl groups was synthesized and then used to produce thioether-containing crosslinked CS membranes. The results suggested that crosslinking could significantly increase the tensile strength of the film from 15.67 MPa to 24.32 MPa. The compact structure of crosslinked chitosan film improved the hydrophobicity and degradability, reduced the thermal stability and swelling rates, exhibited excellent non- cytotoxicity. The in vitro release studies revealed that crosslinked chitosan films could displayed the highest flux about 1.40 mg/ (cm2 h) and significant NR fluorescence change over 80 %. Collectively, our results demonstrate the applicability of these films as ROS-responsive drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Pullulan possesses excellent film-forming properties and oxygen isolation capabilities. However, it exhibits limited antibacterial properties and poor water resistance, thereby hindering its application in the field of food preservation. In this study, we synthesized D-arginine-succinic anhydride-pullulan (Arg-SA-Pul) by carboxylating pullulan and subsequently grafting it with D-arginine. The antimicrobial test demonstrated that Arg-SA-Pul exhibited comparable antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Using Arg-SA-Pul as the primary material and glycerol as the plasticizer, we fabricated an antibacterial film via the tape casting method. The film's light transmittance, water solubility, and water vapor permeability were evaluated. Compared to the natural pullulan film, the Arg-SA-Pul film exhibited lower vapor permeability. Additionally, we conducted preservation tests on cherries by coating them with the Arg-SA-Pul film. The results demonstrated that the Arg-SA-Pul film exhibited a significant preservation effect on cherries and effectively delayed their ripening and senescence. In the future, the Arg-SA-Pul film could be employed as a bacteriostatic preservation material to extend the shelf life of fruits.

Abstract
Biological macromolecules are excellent materials for wound dressing owing to their similar structure to the extracellular matrix and adjustable physicochemical properties. This research focuses on fabricating biological macromolecule-based hydrogel with desirable antibacterial, antioxidant, controlled drug release, cytocompatibility, and wound healing properties. Herein, different concentrations of nanoceria (NC) and flurbiprofen (FLU) drug-loaded gellan gum/gelatin (GG/Ge) based dual crosslinked (Ionic and EDC/NHS coupling) hydrogels were engineered. All fabricated hydrogels were hydrophilic, biodegradable, good strength, porous, antioxidant, hemocompatible and cytocompatible. Among all, hydrogel loaded with 500 μg/ml NC (GG/Ge/NC@FLU) exhibited desirable antioxidant, antibacterial (killed Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli within 12 h), hemocompatible, cytocompatible, supports oxidative-stressed L929 cell growth and acted as a controlled release matrix for FLU, following Fickian diffusion, Peppas Sahlin and Korsmeyer-Peppas drug release models. Furthermore, nanocomposite hydrogel (GG/Ge/NC@FLU)-treated wounds of rats on day 14 demonstrated significantly higher collagen synthesis, nearly 100 % wound contractions, and efficiently decreased the expression of TNF-α and IL-1 while increasing the production of IL-10 and TNF-ß3, indicating antiinflammatory activity, and effectively reduced the expression of VEGF gene indicating effective angiogenesis than all other controls. In conclusion, the fabricated multifunctional GG/Ge/NC@FLU nanocomposite hydrogel shows promising potential for effectively treating full-thickness wound healing in a rat model.

Pullulan-based films impregnated with silver nanoparticles from the Fusarium culmorum strain JTW1 for potential applications in the food industry and medicine. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1241739. [PMID: 37609118 PMCID: PMC10441246 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2023.1241739] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Biopolymers, such as pullulan, a natural exopolysaccharide from Aureobasidium pullulans, and their nanocomposites are commonly used in the food, pharmaceutical, and medical industries due to their unique physical and chemical properties. Methods: Pullulan was synthesized by the A. pullulans ATCC 201253 strain. Nanocomposite films based on biosynthesized pullulan were prepared and loaded with different concentrations of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized by the Fusarium culmorum strain JTW1. AgNPs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Zeta potential measurements, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. In turn, the produced films were subjected to physico-chemical analyses such as goniometry, UV shielding capacity, attenuated total reflection-Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and their mechanical and degradation properties were assessed. The antibacterial assays of the nanoparticles and the nanocomposite films against both food-borne and reference pathogens, including Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella infantis, Salmonella enterica, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae, were performed using standard methods. Results: AgNPs were small (mean 15.1 nm), spherical, and displayed good stability, being coated with protein biomolecules. When used in higher concentrations as an additive to pullulan films, they resulted in reduced hydrophilicity and light transmission for both UV-B and UV-A lights. Moreover, the produced films exhibited a smooth surface. Therefore, it can be concluded that the addition of biogenic AgNPs did not change the morphology and texture of the films compared to the control film. The nanoparticles and nanocomposite films demonstrated remarkable antibacterial activity against both food-borne and reference bacteria. The highest activity of the prepared films was observed against L. monocytogenes. Discussion: The obtained results suggest that the novel nanocomposite films prepared from biosynthesized pullulan and AgNPs can be considered for use in the development of medical products and food packaging. Moreover, this is the first report on pullulan-based nanocomposites with mycogenic AgNPs for such applications.

Abstract
In recent years, the development of hyaluronic acid or hyaluronan (HA) based scaffolds, medical devices, bioconjugate systems have expanded into a broad range of research and clinical applications. Research findings over the last two decades suggest that the abundance of HA in most mammalian tissues with distinctive biological roles and chemical simplicity for modifications have made it an attractive material with a rapidly growing global market. Besides its use as native forms, HA has received much interest on so-called "HA-bioconjugates" and "modified-HA systems". In this review, the importance of chemical modifications of HA, underlying rationale approaches, and various advancements of bioconjugate derivatives with their potential physicochemical, and pharmacological advantages are summarized. This review also highlights the current and emerging HA-based conjugates of small molecules, macromolecules, crosslinked systems, and surface coating strategies with their biological implications, including their potentials and key challenges discussed in detail.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex process that involves restoring the structure of damaged tissues through four phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Wound dressings are the most common treatment used to cover wounds, reduce infection risk and the loss of physiological fluids, and enhance wound healing. Despite there being several types of wound dressings based on different materials and fabricated through various techniques, polymeric films have been widely employed due to their biocompatibility and low immunogenicity. Furthermore, they are non-invasive, easy to apply, allow gas exchange, and can be transparent. Among different methods for designing polymeric films, solvent casting represents a reliable, preferable, and highly used technique due to its easygoing and relatively low-cost procedure compared to sophisticated methods such as spin coating, microfluidic spinning, or 3D printing. Therefore, this review focuses on the polymeric dressings obtained using this technique, emphasizing the critical manufacturing factors related to pharmaceuticals, specifically discussing the formulation variables necessary to create wound dressings that demonstrate effective performance.

Abstract
The presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in our environment is a matter of growing concern. Consumption of contaminated drinking water or contaminated fruit or vegetables can provoke ailments and even diseases, mainly in the digestive system. In this work, we present the latest data on the ability to remove bacteria from potable water and wastewater. The article discusses the mechanisms of the antibacterial activity of polymers, consisting of the electrostatic interaction between bacterial cells and the surface of natural and synthetic polymers functionalized with metal cations (polydopamine modified with silver nanoparticles, starch modified with quaternary ammonium or halogenated benzene). The synergistic effect of polymers (N-alkylaminated chitosan, silver doped polyoxometalate, modified poly(aspartic acid)) with antibiotics has also been described, allowing for precise targeting of drugs to infected cells as a preventive measure against the excessive spread of antibiotics, leading to drug resistance among bacteria. Cationic polymers, polymers obtained from essential oils (EOs), or natural polymers modified with organic acids are promising materials in the removal of harmful bacteria. Antimicrobial polymers are successfully used as biocides due to their acceptable toxicity, low production costs, chemical stability, and high adsorption capacity thanks to multi-point attachment to microorganisms. New achievements in the field of polymer surface modification in order to impart antimicrobial properties were summarized.

Abstract
Natural Rubber (NR), extracted from Hevea brasiliensis rubber trees, is a biocompatible biopolymer with properties that support in the tissue repair process. However, its biomedical applications are limited due to the presence of allergenic proteins, hydrophobicity, and unsaturated bonds. To overcome these limitations and contribute to the development of new biomaterials, this study aims to deproteinize, epoxidize, and subject NR to copolymerization by grafting with hyaluronic acid (HA), which is widely recognized for its bioactive properties in the medical field. The deproteinization, epoxidation, and graft copolymerization through the esterification reaction were confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Hydrogen Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy analysis. Thermogravimetry and Differential Scanning Calorimetry demonstrated that the grafted sample exhibited a lower degradation rate and a higher glass transition temperature, indicating strong intermolecular interactions. Moreover, contact angle measurement revealed that the grafted NR exhibited a high hydrophilic character. The results obtained suggest the formation of a novel material with great potential for application in biomaterials involved in tissue repair processes.

Abstract
An ideal wound dressing should have excellent antimicrobial properties and provide a suitable microenvironment for regenerating damaged skin tissue. In this study, we utilized sericin to biosynthesize silver nanoparticles in situ and introduced curcumin to obtain Sericin-AgNPs/Curcumin (Se-Ag/Cur) antimicrobial agent. The hybrid antimicrobial agent was then encapsulated in a physically double cross-linking 3D structure network (Sodium alginate-Chitosan, SC) to obtain the SC/Se-Ag/Cur composite sponge. The 3D structural networks were constructed through electrostatic interactions between sodium alginate and chitosan and ionic interactions between sodium alginate and calcium ions. The prepared composite sponges have excellent hygroscopicity (contact angle 51.3° ± 5.6°), moisture retention ability, porosity (67.32 % ± 3.37 %), and mechanical properties (>0.7 MPa) and exhibit good antibacterial ability against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). In addition, in vivo experiments have shown that the composite sponge promotes epithelial regeneration and collagen deposition in wounds infected with S. aureus or P. aeruginosa. Tissue immunofluorescence staining analysis confirmed that the SC/Se-Ag/Cur complex sponge stimulated upregulated expression of CD31 to promote angiogenesis while downregulating TNF-α expression to reduce inflammation. These advantages make it an ideal candidate for infectious wound repair materials, providing an effective repair strategy for clinical skin trauma infections.

Abstract
Pullulan has many potential applications in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and environmental industries. However, the yield and molecular properties of pullulan produced by various strains still need to be promoted to fit the application needs. A novel yeast-like strain Aureobasidium pullulans BL06 producing high molecular weight (Mw) pullulan (3.3 × 106 Da) was isolated and identified in this study. The remarkable Mw of pullulan produced by A. pullulans BL06 was the highest level ever reported thus far. To further regulate the biosynthesis of pullulan in A. pullulans BL06, three gene knockout strains A. pullulans BL06 ΔPMAs, A. pullulans BL06 Δmel, and A. pullulans BL06 ΔPMAsΔmel, were constructed. The results showed that A. pullulans BL06 ΔPMAs could produce 140.2 g/L of moderate Mw (1.3 × 105 Da) pullulan after 120 h of fermentation. The highest yield level of pullulan to date could vastly reduce its production cost and expand its application scope and potential. The application experiments in food preservation showed that the moderate-Mw pullulan obtained in this work could reduce the weight loss of celery cabbages and mangos by 12.5% and 22%, respectively. Thus, the novel strains A. pullulans BL06 and A. pullulans BL06 ΔPMAs possessed unlimited development prospects in pullulan production at various Mw ranges and pullulan applications in multiple fields.

Abstract
Accelerating the coagulation process and preventing wound infection are major challenges in the wound care process. Therefore, new multifunctional wound dressings with procoagulant, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties have enormous potential for clinical application. In this work, biodegradable hydrogels containing herbal extracts are prepared for wound dressings. First, the active ingredients are extracted from Amaranthus spinosus (A. spinosus) and Rubia cordifolia (R. cordifolia) and added to the hydrogels prepared from microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), carrageenan, and sodium alginate. Then the composite hydrogels are air-dried to obtain the wound dressings. The wound dressings prepared in this work have good biocompatibility and moisture retention. The mechanical properties of the wound dressings are further improved with the addition of MCC. Besides, the wound dressings have excellent procoagulant, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties due to the presence of R. cordifolia extract. Overall, the most effective group of wound dressings with different ingredient formulations reduces clotting time by 75% and largely inhibits bacterial growth. The wound dressings perform well in the animal wound models to promote wound healing. These results indicate that the hydrogel wound dressings prepared in this work have great potential for medical applications.

Abstract
A novel wound dressing that possesses antibacterial properties and accelerates skin wound repair was developed by physically blending hyaluronic acid-grafted pullulan succinate (HA-st-Pu) with chitosan (CS). The HA-st-Pu polymer was synthesized and characterized, and then CS/HA-st-Pu film dressings were prepared by a freeze-drying method. The novel film wound dressings exhibited a three-dimensional cavity structure under scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and a better swelling ratio than CS, HA and Pu alone, absorbing a large amount of liquid and effectively maintaining the moist environment of the wound. CS/HA-st-Pu materials had no cytotoxicity and increased cell proliferation when coincubated with L929 cells. Moreover, CS/HA-st-Pu wound dressings exhibited a certain antibacterial capability against E. coli and S. aureus. In rat skin wound healing, CS/HA-st-Pu film dressings outperformed both the control and market band-aid groups with respect to the reduction of inflammation and acceleration of wound closure.

Abstract
Chronic wound management represents a major challenge in the healthcare sector owing to its delayed wound-healing process progression and huge financial burden. In this regard, wound dressings provide an appropriate platform for facilitating wound healing for several decades. However, adherent traditional wound dressings do not provide effective wound healing for highly exudating chronic wounds and need the development of newer and innovative wound dressings to facilitate accelerated wound healing. In addition, these dressings need frequent changing, resulting in more pain and discomfort. In order to overcome these issues, a wide range of affordable and innovative modern wound dressings have been developed and explored recently to accelerate and improve the wound healing process. However, a comprehensive understanding of various in vitro and in vivo characterization methods being utilized for the evaluation of different modern wound dressings is lacking. In this context, an overview of modern dressings and their complete in vitro and in vivo characterization methods for wound healing assessment is provided in this review. Herein, various emerging modern wound dressings with advantages and challenges have also been reviewed. Furthermore, different in vitro wound healing assays and in vivo wound models being utilized for the evaluation of wound healing progression and wound healing rate using wound dressings are discussed in detail. Finally, a summary of modern wound dressings with challenges and the future outlook is highlighted.

Abstract
Hyaluronan (HA) plays a fundamental role in maintaining the homeostasis on skin health. Furthermore, the effect of HA in skin inflammatory diseases is worth studying in the next future. HA and its conjugates change the solubility of active pharmaceutical ingredients, improve emulsion properties, prolong stability, reduce immunogenicity, and provide targeting. HA penetrates to deeper layers of the skin via several mechanisms, which depend on the macromolecular structure and composition of the formulation. The cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in epidermal dysfunction and skin aging are not well understood. Nevertheless, HA is known to selectively activate CD44-mediated keratinocyte signaling that regulates its proliferation, migration, and differentiation. The molecular size of HA is critical for molecular mechanisms and interactions with receptors. High molecular weight HA is used in emulsions and low molecular weight is used to form nanostructured lipid carriers, polymeric micelles, bioconjugates, and nanoparticles. In the fabrication of microneedles, HA is combined with other polymers to enhance mechanical properties for piercing the skin. Hence, this review aims to provide an overview of the current state of the art and last reported ways of processing, and applications in skin drug delivery, which will advocate for their broadened use in the future.

Abstract
Wound healing is an intricate process of tissue repair or remodeling that occurs in response to injury. Plants and plant-derived bioactive constituents are well explored in the treatment of various types of wounds. Curcumin is a natural polyphenolic substance that has been used since ancient times in Ayurveda for its healing properties, as it reduces inflammation and acts on several healing stages. Several research studies for curcumin delivery at the wound site reported the effectiveness of curcumin in eradicating reactive oxygen species and its ability to enhance the deposition of collagen, granulation tissue formation, and finally, expedite wound contraction. Curcumin has been widely investigated for its wound healing potential but its lower solubility and rapid metabolism, in addition to its shorter plasma half-life, have limited its applications in wound healing. As nanotechnology has proven to be an effective technique to accelerate wound healing by stimulating appropriate mobility through various healing phases, curcumin-loaded nanocarriers are used for targeted delivery at the wound sites. This review highlights the potential of curcumin and its nanoformulations, such as liposomes, nanoparticles, and nano-emulsions, etc. in wound healing. This paper emphasizes the numerous biomedical applications of curcumin which collectively prepare a base for its antibiofilm and wound-healing action.

Abstract
Acute skin damage caused by burns or cuts occurs frequently in people's daily lives. Such wounds are difficult to heal normally and have persistent inflammation. Wound dressings not only improve the speed of wound healing, but also protect and cover the wound well. Hydrogels have the characteristics of good flexibility, high water content, and good biocompatibility, and are widely used in biomedicine and other fields. Common hydrogels are mainly natural hydrogels and synthetic hydrogels. Hydrogels cross-linked using different raw materials and different methods have different performance characteristics. Natural hydrogels prepared using polysaccharides are simple to obtain and have good biocompatibility, but are inferior to synthetic hydrogels in terms of mechanical properties and stability, and a single polysaccharide hydrogel cannot meet the component requirements for wound healing. Therefore, functional composite hydrogels with high mechanical properties, high biocompatibility, and high antibacterial properties are the current research hotspots. In this review, several common polysaccharides for hydrogel synthesis and the synthesis methods of polysaccharide hydrogels are introduced, and functional composite hydrogel dressings from recent years are classified. It is hoped that this can provide useful references for relevant research in this field.

Abstract
The compositions and health-beneficial properties of lingonberry leaves (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.) are well established; however, their proanthocyanidins are still heavily underutilized. Optimizing their delivery systems is key to enabling their wider applications. The present study investigates the phytochemical and 'wound-healing' properties of proanthocyanidin-rich fraction(s) (PRF) from lingonberry leaves as well as the development of optimal dermal film as a proanthocyanidin delivery system. The obtained PRF was subjected to HPLC-PDA and DMAC analyses to confirm the qualitative and quantitative profiles of different polymerization-degree proanthocyanidins. A 'wound healing' in vitro assay was performed to assess the ability of PRF to modulate the wound environment for better healing. Low concentrations of lingonberry proanthocyanidins were found to accelerate 'wound' closures, while high levels inhibited human fibroblast migration. Fifteen dermal films containing PRF were prepared and evaluated based on their polymer (MC, HEC, PEG 400) compositions, and physical, mechanical, and biopharmaceutical properties using an experimental design. The composition containing 0.30 g of MC, 0.05 g of HEC, and 3.0 g of PEG 400 was selected as a promising formulation for PRF delivery and a potentially effective functional wound dressing material, supporting the need for further investigations.

Abstract
Bacteria-related infections are one of the main causes of human skin infections, which are associated with the delay of wound healing and secondary complications. In this work, a series of novel biodegradable films based on thermosensitive carboxymethyl chitin were prepared without using any crosslinkers. All the carboxymethyl chitin films had good flexibility, high transparency, and appropriate water absorption capacity, and could provide a moist environment for wound healing. The silver ions (Ag+) were incorporated on the LTCF-5 film, which had the best mechanical strength (56.39 MPa in the dry state and 0.66 MPa in the wet state) among the carboxymethyl chitin films and was higher than those of the reported biodegradable dressings and commercially available dressings. Compared with the commercial hydrofiber dressing with silver (AQUACEL®), the composite film could provide slow and sustained release of Ag+ with good strength and biodegradability, and displayed excellent long-lasting antibacterial activity in vitro against both S. aureus and E. coli without obvious cytotoxicity, which still possessed good antibacterial activity with almost 100% bacteriostatic rates after soaking in phosphate buffered saline for 7 days. More importantly, the Ag+ loaded carboxymethyl chitin film could promote infected cutaneous wound healing in a S. aureus infected full-thickness cutaneous defect in vivo model because of its long-lasting antibacterial activity, good biocompatibility, exudate absorption and ability to maintain a moist environment. Thus Ag+ loaded carboxymethyl chitin films are excellent candidates for infected wound healing.

Abstract
Hydrogel membrane dressings with multifunctional tunable properties encompassing biocompatibility, anti-bacterial, oxygen permeability, and adequate mechanical strength are highly preferred for wound healing. The present study aimed to develop biopolymer-based hydrogel membranes for the controlled release of therapeutic agent at the wound site. Toward this end we developed Cefotaxime sodium (CTX) loaded keratin (KR)-pullulan (PL) based hydrogel membrane dressings. All membranes show optimized vapor transmission rate (≥1000 g/ m2/day), oxygen permeability >8.2 mg/mL, MTT confirmed good biocompatibility and sufficient tensile strength (17.53 ± 1.9) for being used as a wound dressing. Nonetheless, KR-PL-PVA membranes show controlled CTX release due to enriched hydrophilic moieties which protect the wound from getting infected. In vivo results depict that CTX-KR-PL-PVA membrane group shows a rapid wound closure rate (p < 0.05) with appreciable angiogenesis, accelerated re-epithelization, and excessive collagen deposition at the wound site. These results endorsed that CTX-KR-PL-PVA hydrogel membranes are potential candidates for being used as dressing material in the diabetic wound.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Curcumin has become increasingly popular in functional foods and beverages field as a result of its high biological activity. Nevertheless, the application of curcumin is usually limited by its poor water solubility, low absorption, rapid metabolism and instability. Accordingly, the development of an appropriate wall material is crucial for its effective use. In the present study, curcumin-octenyl succinic anhydride modified pullulan (Cur-OSAP) micelles were successfully prepared by an anti-solvent co-precipitation method. RESULTS Octenyl succinic anhydride modified pullulan (OSAP) micelles exhibited the highest encapsulation efficiency (57.31%) and loading capacity (5.73%) of curcumin when the mass ratio of OSAP to curcumin was 10:1 and the degree of substitution of OSAP was 0.0469, at which point Cur-OSAP micelles formed via hydrogen binding and hydrophobic interactions, as confirmed by Fourier transform infrared and fluorescence techniques. The transmission electron microscopy results showed that the Cur-OSAP micelles were roughly spherical in shape with diameters in the approximate range 30-60 nm. CONCLUSION The encapsulation of OSAP greatly improved photostability and sustained release properties of curcumin in Cur-OSAP micelles. These findings suggest that OSAP can be used as a carrier to encapsulate and protect hydrophobic food ingredients. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Bacterial infection and delayed healing are two major obstacles in cutaneous wound management, and developing multifunctional hydrogels with antibacterial and prohealing capabilities presents a promising strategy to dress wounds. However, the simple and facile fabrication of such hydrogel dressings remains challenging. Herein, we report the first observation on hydrazide-metal coordination crosslinking that is utilized to successfully construct a series of hyaluronan (HA)-metal hydrogels by mixing hydrazided HA and metal ion solutions. Considering the antibacterial, prohealing, and proangiogenic properties of HA and Cu(II), as a proof of principle, a HA-Cu hydrogel was systematically investigated as a wound dressing. Surprisingly, the hydrazide-Cu(II) coordination was dynamic in nature and imparted the HA-Cu hydrogel with physicochemical multifunctions, including spontaneous self-healing, shear-thinning injectability, reversible pH/redox/ion pair triple responsiveness, etc. Moreover, the HA-Cu hydrogel exhibited a robust broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and could significantly accelerate infectious wound healing. Impressively, glutathione-triggered hydroxyl radical generation further potentiated wound healing, providing a paradigm for on-demand antibacterial activity enhancement. Hence, the HA-Cu hydrogel is a clinically applicable "smart" dressing for multi-scenario wound healing. We envision that the simple and versatile coordination approach opens up a new avenue to develop multifunctional hydrogels and shows great potential in frontier fields, such as biomedicine, wearable devices, and soft robots.

Abstract
Wound healing is a naturally occurring process that can be aided by a wound dressing properly designed to assure an efficient healing process. An infection caused by several microorganisms could interfere with this process, delaying or even impairing wound healing. Hyaluronic acid (HA), a main constituent of the extracellular matrix (ECM) of a vertebrate’s connective tissue, represents a promising biomaterial for wound dressing thanks to its intrinsic biocompatibility, hydrophilicity and bacteriostatic properties. In this review, different and recent types of HA-based wound dressings endowed with intrinsic antimicrobial properties or co-adjuvated by antimicrobial natural or synthetic agents are highlighted.

Abstract
Skin is the largest organ in the body which plays different roles in maintaining hemostasis. Although this tissue has a high healing potential, severe skin wounds cannot heal without external interventions. Among various treatment strategies, tissue-engineered wound dressings have gained significant attention. In this regard, tremendous progress has been made in the field of tissue engineering to develop constructs with higher healing activities. Material selection and optimization are key factors in development of such dressings. Among different candidates, dextran-based wound dressings have been extensively studied. Dextran is a branched biological macromolecule which is composed of anhydroglucose monomers. Due to its excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-toxicity, modifiable functional groups, and proven clinical safety, dextran has found application in wound healing research. In the current review, applications, challenges, and future perspectives of dextran-based wound dressings will be discussed.

Abstract
Tissue repair engineering supported by nanoparticles and stem cells has been demonstrated as being an efficient strategy for promoting the healing potential during the regeneration of damaged tissues. In the current study, we prepared various nanomaterials including pure Pul, pure Col, Pul–Col, Pul–Au, Pul–Col–Au, and Col–Au to investigate their physicochemical properties, biocompatibility, biological functions, differentiation capacities, and anti-inflammatory abilities through in vitro and in vivo assessments. The physicochemical properties were characterized by SEM, DLS assay, contact angle measurements, UV-Vis spectra, FTIR spectra, SERS, and XPS analysis. The biocompatibility results demonstrated Pul–Col–Au enhanced cell viability, promoted anti-oxidative ability for MSCs and HSFs, and inhibited monocyte and platelet activation. Pul–Col–Au also induced the lowest cell apoptosis and facilitated the MMP activities. Moreover, we evaluated the efficacy of Pul–Col–Au in the enhancement of neuronal differentiation capacities for MSCs. Our animal models elucidated better biocompatibility, as well as the promotion of endothelialization after implanting Pul–Col–Au for a period of one month. The above evidence indicates the excellent biocompatibility, enhancement of neuronal differentiation, and anti-inflammatory capacities, suggesting that the combination of pullulan, collagen, and Au nanoparticles can be potential nanocomposites for neuronal repair, as well as skin tissue regeneration in any further clinical treatments.

Abstract
Background The development of biomaterials with the ability to promote skin wound healing is an important topic in the field of biomedical science. In this study, a topical curcumin (Cur) gel [Cur/hyaluronic acid (HA)] was prepared by combining curcumin-loaded PCL-b-PEG-b-PCL (PECE) nanomicelles (PCEC/Cur) and HA to effectively promote skin wound healing. Continuous drug release from PCEC/Cur can provide long-term protection and treatment of skin wounds. Methods The study was completed in two stages. The first stage (in vitro): PCEC/Cur were prepared by thin film hydration method. The second stage (in vivo): 36 anesthetized rats were used to prepare a round full-thickness skin defect wound with a diameter of 23 mm on the dorsal side of the spine, and the rats were randomly divided into 4 groups with 9 rats in each group. Results The results showed that wounds in the Cur/HA group were restored to normal after 14 days after operation, representing 96%±3% wound healing. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining showed that hair follicles in the Cur/HA group were visible and that the re-epithelialization time was earlier. Masson staining showed that Cur/HA promoted the formation of collagen fibers. Immunohistochemical observation showed that angiogenesis and subsequent healing of the wound surface was enhanced in the Cur/HA group. Conclusions The injectable hyaluronic acid gel complex Cur/HA is a promising candidate material for a wound dressing to promote healing.

Abstract
Biomaterials are being extensively used in regenerative medicine including tissue engineering applications, as these enhance tissue development, repair, and help in the process of angiogenesis. Wound healing is a crucial biological process of regeneration of ruptured tissue after getting injury to the skin and other soft tissue in humans and animals. Besides, the accumulation of microbial biofilms around the wound surface can increase the risk and physically obstruct the wound healing activity, and may even lead to amputation. Hence, in both acute and chronic wounds, prominent biomaterials are required for wound healing along with antimicrobial agents. This review comprehensively addresses the antimicrobial and wound healing effects of chitosan, chitin, cellulose acetate, hyaluronic acid, pullulan, bacterial cellulose, fibrin, alginate, etc. based wound dressing biomaterials fabricated with natural resources such as honey, plant bioactive compounds, and marine-based polymers. Due to their excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, bioactive compounds derived from honey, plants, and marine resources are commonly used in biomedical and tissue engineering applications. Different types of polymer-based biomaterials including hydrogel, film, scaffold, nanofiber, and sponge dressings fabricated with bioactive agents including honey, curcumin, tannin, quercetin, andrographolide, gelatin, carrageenan, etc., can exhibit significant wound healing process in, diabetic wounds, diabetic ulcers, and burns, and help in cartilage repair along with good biocompatibility and antimicrobial effects. Among the reviewed biomaterials, carbohydrate polymers such as chitosan-based biomaterials are prominent and widely used for wound healing applications followed by hyaluronic acid and alginate-based biomaterials loaded with honey, plant, and marine compounds. This review first provides an overview of the vast natural resources used to formulate different biomaterials for the treatment of antimicrobial, acute, and chronic wound healing processes.

Abstract
Hyaluronan (HA) is a natural glycosaminoglycan present in many tissues of all vertebrates. HA has various biological functions, which are dependent on its molar mass. High-molar-mass HA has anti-angiogenic, immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory properties, while low-molar-mass HA has opposite effects. HA has also antioxidative properties, however on the other hand it can be readily degraded by reactive oxygen species. For many years it has been used in treatment of osteoarthritis, cosmetics and in ophthalmology. In the last years there has been a growing interest of HA to also be applied in other fields of medicine such as skin wound healing, tissue engineering, dentistry and gene delivery. In this review we summarize information on modes of HA administration, properties and effects of HA in various fields of medicine including recent progress in the investigation of HA.

Abstract
Background
Nanomaterials of curcumin with hyaluronic acid have gained a lot of attention for potential therapeutic applications of curcumin and hyaluronic acid with or without other additional drugs. Overall studies of curcumin and hyaluronic acid show that nanomaterials of curcumin with hyaluronic acid accelerate the efficacy of curcumin in the treatment of various disorders like arthritis, cancer, hepatic fibrosis, neural disorders, wound healing, and skin regeneration, it is largely due to the combined effect of hyaluronic acid and curcumin. However, due to limited clinical trials and experiments on humans and animals, there is a substantial gap in research for the safety and efficacy of nanomaterials of curcumin-hyaluronic acid in the treatment of curcumin and hyaluronic acid targeted diseases and disorders.
Main body of the abstract
In this current review, we have first described various reported synthetic nanomaterials of curcumin-hyaluronic acid, then in the next section, we have described various fields, disorders, and diseases where these are being applied and in the final section of this review, we discussed the research gap, and future research directions needed to propose the fabricated nanocurcumin-hyaluronic acid biomaterials.
Short conclusion
There are substantial gaps in research for the safety and efficacy of nanomaterials of curcumin with hyaluronic acid due to limited available data of clinical trials and experiments of nanocurcumin-hyaluronic acid biomaterials on humans and animals. So, it entirely requires serious and committed efforts through the well-organized system of practical and clinical trials which provide results, data, and detections that lead to the formulation of the best drug from curcumin with hyaluronic acid for the treatment of curcumin and hyaluronic acid targeted diseases and disorders.

Abstract
The negative factors that result in delayed and prolonged wound healing process include microbial pathogens, excess wound exudates, underlying conditions, smoking, obesity, etc. Most of the currently used wound dressings demonstrate an inadequate capacity to treat wounds resulting from the factors mentioned above. The commonly used wound dressings include hydrogels, films, hydrocolloids, foams, fibers, sponges, dermal patches, bandages, etc. These wound dressings can be loaded with various types of bioactive agents (e.g., antibiotics, nanoparticles, anti-inflammatory drugs, etc.) to improve their therapeutic outcomes. Biopolymers offer interesting properties suitable for the design of wound dressings. This review article will be based on hyaluronic-acid-based scaffolds loaded with therapeutic agents for the treatment of wounds.

Abstract
The recent development of several methods for extracting curcumin from the root of the plant Curcuma longa has led to intensified research on the properties of curcumin and its fields of application. Following the studies and the accreditation of curcumin as a natural compound with antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial properties, new fields of application have been developed in two main directions—food and medical, respectively. This review paper aims to synthesize the fields of application of curcumin as an additive for the prevention of spoilage, safety, and quality of food. Simultaneously, it aims to present curcumin as an additive in products for the prevention of bacterial infections and health care. In both cases, the types of curcumin formulations in the form of (nano)emulsions, (nano)particles, or (nano)composites are presented, depending on the field and conditions of exploitation or their properties to be used. The diversity of composite materials that can be designed, depending on the purpose of use, leaves open the field of research on the conditioning of curcumin. Various biomaterials active from the antibacterial and antibiofilm point of view can be intuited in which curcumin acts as an additive that potentiates the activities of other compounds or has a synergistic activity with them.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to construct a delivery system using a microfluidic chip to protect procyanidins (PCs) and to achieve their pH-controlled release in simulated gastrointestinal fluid. The microfluidic chip was designed and fabricated to generate water-in-water-in-oil (W/W/O) templates for the preparation of sodium alginate/chitosan microparticles with a uniform size and core-shell structure, using an internal-external gelation method. Compared with free PCs, the stability of PCs embedded in microparticles was improved and a pH stimulus-responsive release of PCs from microparticles was observed under neutral pH conditions. The delivery system of microparticles was nontoxic and showed an inhibitory effect on the decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential in Caco-2 cells caused by H2O2 and acrylamide. This work provided a method for fabricating compact microfluidic chips to prepare a pH stimulus-responsive PCs delivery system with improved stability, which may have potential applications in the delivery of other nutrients.

Abstract
The skin can protect the body from external harm, sense environmental changes, and maintain physiological homeostasis. Cutaneous repair and regeneration associated with surgical wounds, acute traumas, and chronic diseases are a central concern of healthcare. Patients may experience the failure of current treatments due to the complexity of the healing process; therefore, emerging strategies are needed. Hyaluronic acids (HAs, also known as hyaluronan), a glycosaminoglycan (GAG) of the extracellular matrix (ECM), play key roles in cell differentiation, proliferation, and migration throughout tissue development and regeneration. Recently, HA derivatives have been developed as regenerative biomaterials for treating skin damage and injury. In this review, the healing process, namely, hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and maturation, is described and the role of HAs in the healing process is discussed. This review also provides recent examples in the development of HA derivatives for wound healing.

Abstract
Prevention of bacterial infection, acceleration of wound closure and promotion of skin regeneration are crucial in the wound healing process. In this work, the photothermal activity of an injectable thermosensitive composite hydrogel based on hydroxypropyl chitin (HPCH), tannic acid (TA) and ferric ions (Fe3+) was studied. It was found that the photothermal efficiency was enhanced when the molar ratio of Fe3+/TA increased up to 20. The composite hydrogel possessed good cytocompatibility and hemocompatibility with a low dosage of the antibacterial agent TA. In vitro and in vivo antibacterial tests showed that the HPCH/TA/Fe hydrogel possessed an effective and rapid bactericidal effect with 10 minutes of near-infrared laser irradiation. Furthermore, the combination of a low-level laser therapy with the hydrogel is conducive to the acceleration of wound closure and promotion of skin tissue repair. Thus, the injectable photothermally active antibacterial composite hydrogel has great potential for the infected skin wound regeneration in clinical applications.

Abstract
Pullulan is an imperative microbial exo-polymer commercially produced by yeast like fungus Aureobasidium pullulans. Its structure contains maltosyl repeating units which comprises two α-(1 → 4) linked glucopyranose rings attached to one glucopyranose ring through α-(1 → 6) glycosidic bond. The co-existence of α-(1 → 6) and α-(1 → 4) glycosidic linkages endows distinctive physico-chemical properties to pullulan. It is highly biocompatible, non-toxic and non-carcinogenic in nature. It is extremely resistant to any mutagenicity or immunogenicity. The unique properties of pullulan make it a potent candidate for biomedical applications viz. drug delivery, gene delivery, tissue engineering, molecular chaperon, plasma expander, vaccination, etc. This review highlights the potential of pullulan in biomedical research and development.

Abstract
Over the past few years, different in vitro and in vivo studies have been highlighting the great potentiality of hyaluronic acid (HA) as a biomaterial in wound healing treatment thanks to its good capability to induce mesenchymal and epithelial cell growth and differentiation, angiogenesis, and collagen deposition. However, the need to improve its mechanical properties as well as its residence time has led scientists to study new functionalization strategies. In this work, chemically modified HA-based hydrogels were obtained by methacrylic and maleic functionalization. Methacrylated (MEHA) and maleated HA (MAHA) hydrogels have shown important physico-chemical properties. The present study provides a deeper insight into the biocompatibility of both synthesized materials and their effects on tissue inflammation using in vitro and in vivo models. To this aim, different cell lines involved in wound healing, human dermal fibroblasts, human adipose-derived stem cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells, were seeded on MEHA and MAHA hydrogels. Furthermore, an inflammation study was carried out on a murine macrophage cell line to assess the effects of both hydrogels on inflammatory and anti-inflammatory interleukin production. The results showed that both MAHA and MEHA supported cell proliferation with anti-inflammation ability as highlighted by the increased levels of IL-10 (57.92 ± 9.87 pg mL−1 and 68.08 ± 13.94 pg mL−1, for MEHA and MAHA, respectively). To investigate the inflammatory response at tissue/implant interfaces, an in vivo study was also performed by subcutaneous implantation of the materials in BALB/c mice for up to 28 days. In these analyses, no significant chronic inflammation reaction was demonstrated in either MEHA or MAHA in the long-term implantation. From synthesis to the in vitro and in vivo biological evaluation of two types of hyaluronan derivatives.![]()
