Abstract
Agarose/micrometer titanium dioxide (TiO2) beads were essayed to test the photocatalytic capacity of two of the most widely prescribed drugs worldwide: paracetamol and ibuprofen. Although the initial tests demonstrated promising degradation rates for both drugs, the presence of turbidity, due to TiO2 leakage, during the photocatalytic essays induced to improve the stability of the photocatalytic composites. Among the different strategies adopted to strengthen such materials, crosslinking with citric acid and the use of alternative gelling agents: gellan, agargel™, and agar were chosen. Composites obtained by merging both strategies were characterized and employed to degrade both drugs under a simulated light that mimics the solar spectrum (indoor). Considering the superior degradation rates obtained when agar and agarose were used to shape the titanium oxide particles (up to 70-75% of drug destruction), such composites were subjected to a more realistic experiment (outdoor): solar illumination, tap water, and higher volumes, that should facilitate its ulterior scale up as a real wastewater depollution procedure. Degradation rates between 80 and 90% are attained under such conditions for both drugs.

Abstract
The development of innovative wound dressing materials is crucial for effective wound care. It's an active area of research driven by a better understanding of chronic wound pathogenesis. Addressing wound care properly is a clinical challenge, but there is a growing demand for advancements in this field. The synergy of medicinal plants and nanotechnology offers a promising approach to expedite the healing process for both acute and chronic wounds by facilitating the appropriate progression through various healing phases. Metal nanoparticles play an increasingly pivotal role in promoting efficient wound healing and preventing secondary bacterial infections. Their small size and high surface area facilitate enhanced biological interaction and penetration at the wound site. Specifically designed for topical drug delivery, these nanoparticles enable the sustained release of therapeutic molecules, such as growth factors and antibiotics. This targeted approach ensures optimal cell-to-cell interactions, proliferation, and vascularization, fostering effective and controlled wound healing. Nanoscale scaffolds have significant attention due to their attractive properties, including delivery capacity, high porosity and high surface area. They mimic the Extracellular matrix (ECM) and hence biocompatible. In response to the alarming rise of antibiotic-resistant, biohybrid nanofibrous wound dressings are gradually replacing conventional antibiotic delivery systems. This emerging class of wound dressings comprises biopolymeric nanofibers with inherent antibacterial properties, nature-derived compounds, and biofunctional agents. Nanotechnology, diminutive nanomaterials, nanoscaffolds, nanofibers, and biomaterials are harnessed for targeted drug delivery aimed at wound healing. This review article discusses the effects of nanofibrous scaffolds loaded with nanoparticles on wound healing, including biological (in vivo and in vitro) and mechanical outcomes.

Abstract
The current research work focuses on preparing the polycaprolactone (PCL) based nanocomposite films embedded with surface modified Halloysite Nanotube (HNT). The avenue of the study is to unravel the applicability of polymer nanocomposites for wound healing. The flexible property of HNT was taken as the major force to accomplish the addition of biopolymer pectin onto its surface. Functionalization of HNT with pectin has certainly enhanced its binding nature with the polymer. The PCL nanocomposite films were characterized by several promising techniques such as FTIR, XRD, DSC-TGA, FESEM, TEM, AFM, and mechanical properties were too examined along. When compared to the plane PCL film, the nanocomposite films manifested favorable results in terms of mechanical and chemical properties. Additionally, biometric studies such as in-vitro swelling, enzymatic degradation, and hemolysis performed on the films gave extremely good results. The haemolytic percentage recorded for the films exhibited a steady decrease with increasing amount of nanofillers. The MTT assay showed cell proliferation and its increase as the embedded HNT is more in the matrix. Wound closure study performed on NIH3T3 cell line with 1, 3 and 5wt% of films has given a strong proof for the involvement of polymer and HNT in the healing procedure.

Abstract
Medications have been a part of space travel dating back to the Apollo missions. Currently, medical kits aboard the International Space Station (ISS) contain medications and supplies to treat a variety of possible medical events. As we prepare for more distant exploration missions to Mars and beyond, risk management planning for astronaut healthcare should include the assembly of a medication formulary that is comprehensive enough to prevent or treat anticipated medical events, remains safe and chemically stable, and retains sufficient potency to last for the duration of the mission. Emerging innovation and technologies in pharmaceutical development, delivery, quality maintenance, and validation offer promise for addressing these challenges. The present editorial will summarize the current state of knowledge regarding innovative formulary optimization strategies, pharmaceutical stability assessment techniques, and storage and packaging solutions that could enhance drug safety and efficacy for future exploration spaceflight missions.

Abstract
Millions of people globally suffer from issues related to chronic wounds due to infection, burn, obesity, and diabetes. Nanocomposite with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties is a promising material to promote wound healing. This investigation primarily aims to synthesize reduced graphene oxide and titanium dioxide (rGO@TiO2) nanocomposite for wound healing applications. The rGO@TiO2 nanocomposite was synthesized by the one-step hydrothermal technique, and the physicochemical characterization of synthesized nanocomposite was performed by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and dynamic light scattering. Further, the nanocomposite antibacterial, cytotoxicity, and wound-healing properties were analyzed by disc diffusion method, MTT assay, and in vitro scratch assay, respectively. Based on the TEM images, the average particle size of TiO2 nanoparticles was around 9.26 ± 1.83 nm. The characteristics peak of Ti-O-Ti bonds was observed between 500 and 850 cm-1 in the Fourier transforms infrared spectrum. The Raman spectrum of graphene oxide (GO) was obtained for bands D and G at 1354 cm-1 and at 1593 cm-1, respectively. This GO peak intensity was reduced in rGO, revealing the oxygen functional group reduction. Moreover, the rGO@TiO2 nanocomposite exhibited dose-dependent antibacterial properties against the positive and negative bacterium. The cytotoxicity for 5-100 µg/mL of rGO@TiO2 nanocomposite was above the half-maximal inhibitory concentration value. The in vitro scratch assay for rGO@TiO2 indicates that the nanocomposite promotes cell proliferation and migration. The nanocomposite recovered the wound within 48 h. The rGO@TiO2 nanocomposite shows potential materials for wound healing applications.

Oxidative Stimuli-Responsive "Pollen-Like" Exosomes from Silver Nanoflowers Remodeling Diabetic Wound Microenvironment for Accelerating Wound Healing. Adv Healthc Mater 2023; 12:e2300456.

Abstract
The hostile oxidative wound microenvironment, defective angiogenesis, and uncontrolled release of therapeutic factors are major challenges in improving the diabetic wound healing. Herein, adipose-derived-stem-cell-derived exosomes (Exos) are first loaded into Ag@bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanoflowers (Exos-Ag@BSA NFs) to form a protective "pollen-flower" delivery structure, which are further encapsulated into the injectable collagen (Col) hydrogel (Exos-Ag@BSA NFs/Col) for concurrent remodeling of the oxidative wound microenvironment and precise release of Exos. The Exos-Ag@BSA NFs can selectively dissociate in an oxidative wound microenvironment, which triggers sustained release of Ag ions (Ag+ ) and cascades controllable release of "pollen-like" Exos at the target site, thus protecting Exos from oxidative denaturation. Such a wound-microenvironment-activated release property of Ag+ and Exos effectively eliminates bacteria and promotes the apoptosis of impaired oxidative cells, resulting in improved regenerative microenvironment. Additionally, Exos-Ag@BSA NFs/Col markedly accelerates wound healing and regeneration in vivo in a diabetic murine silicone-splinted excisional wound model by promoting blood perfusion, tissue granulation, collagen deposition, neovascularization, angiogenesis, and re-epithelization. It is anticipated that this work will inspire the development of more delicate and disease-specific therapeutic systems for clinical wound management.

Abstract
It is acknowledged that the presence of antioxidants boosts the wound-healing process. Many biopolymers have been explored over the years for their antioxidant potential in wound healing, but limited research has been performed on gum structures and their derivatives. This review aims to evaluate whether the antioxidant properties of gellan and guar gums and wound healing co-exist. PubMed was the primary platform used to explore published reports on the antioxidant wound-healing interconnection, wound dressings based on gellan and guar gum, as well as the latest review papers on guar gum. The literature search disclosed that some wound-healing supports based on gellan gum hold considerable antioxidant properties, as evident from the results obtained using different antioxidant assays. It has emerged that the antioxidant properties of guar gum are overlooked in the wound-healing field, in most cases, even if this feature improves the healing outcome. This review paper is the first that examines guar gum vehicles throughout the wound-healing process. Further research is needed to design and evaluate customized wound dressings that can scavenge excess reactive oxygen species, especially in clinical practice.

Abstract
Food security has continued to be a topic of interest in our world due to the increasing demand for food. Many technologies have been adopted to enhance food supply and narrow the demand gap. Thus, the attempt to use nanotechnology to improve food security and increase supply has emerged due to the severe shortcomings of conventional technologies, which have made them insufficient to cater to the continuous demand for food products. Hence, nanoparticles have been identified to play a major role in areas involving food production, protection, and shelf-life extensions. Specifically, metal-based nanoparticles have been singled out to play an important role in manufacturing materials with outstanding properties, which can help increase the shelf-life of different food materials. The physicochemical and biological properties of metal-based nanoparticles, such as the large surface area and antimicrobial properties, have made them suitable and adequately useful, not just as a regular packaging material but as a functional material upon incorporation into biopolymer matrices. These, amongst many other reasons, have led to their wide synthesis and applications, even though their methods of preparation and risk evaluation remain a topic of concern. This review, therefore, briefly explores the available synthetic methods, physicochemical properties, roles, and biological properties of metal-based nanoparticles for food packaging. Furthermore, the associated limitations, alongside quality and safety considerations, of these materials were summarily explored. Although this area of research continues to garner attention, this review showed that metal-based nanoparticles possess great potential to be a leading material for food packaging if the problem of migration and toxicity can be effectively modulated.

Abstract
The demand for advanced wound care products is rapidly increasing nowadays. In this study, gellan gum/collagen (GG/C) hydrogel films containing gatifloxacin (GAT) were developed to investigate their properties as wound dressing materials. ATR-FTIR, swelling, water content, water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), and thermal properties were investigated. The mechanical properties of the materials were tested in dry and wet conditions to understand the performance of the materials after exposure to wound exudate. Drug release by Franz diffusion was measured with all samples showing 100 % cumulative drug release after 40 min. Strong antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermis were observed for Gram-positive bacteria, while Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were observed for Gram-negative bacteria. The in-vivo cytotoxicity of GG/C-GAT was assessed by wound contraction in rats, which was 95 % for GG/C-GAT01. Hematoxylin and eosin and Masson's trichrome staining revealed the appearance of fresh full epidermis and granulation tissue, indicating that all wounds had passed through the proliferation phase. The results demonstrate the promising properties of the materials to be used as dressing materials.

Abstract
Hybrid eco-friendly nanocomposite films were fabricated by blending high-methoxyl pectin, gelatin, TiO2, and curcumin through the solution casting method. Various concentrations (0-5 wt%) of TiO2 nanoparticles (TNPs) and curcumin as an organic filler were added to the blend solutions. A high TNP concentration affected the surface morphology, roughness, and compactness of the films. Additionally, 3D mapping revealed the nanoparticle distribution in the film layers. Moisture content, water solubility, and light transmittance reduced dramatically with increasing TNP content, in accordance with the water vapor and oxygen permeabilities. X-ray diffraction revealed that the films were semicrystalline nanocomposites, and the thermal properties of the films increased when 5 wt% of TNPs was incorporated into the blend solution. Fourier-transform infrared and Raman analyses revealed interactions among biopolymers, nanoparticles, and organic fillers through hydrogen bonding. The shelf life of fresh salmon fillets was prolonged to six days for all groups, revealed by total viable counts and psychrotrophic bacteria counts, and the pH of the salmon fillets could be extended until the sixth day for all groups. Biodegradation assays demonstrated a significant weight loss in the nanocomposite films. Therefore, a nanocomposite film with 5 wt% TNPs could potentially be cytotoxic to NIH 3T3 cells.

Abstract
Preparing sponge dressings with stable wet adhesion remains difficult in wound repair, especially in burn wounds with bleeding and large amounts of exudate. In this work, a multifunctional hybrid sponge dressing (DHGT+PHMB+TiO2NPs) with good wet adhesion was developed by combining biomimetic and enzymatic cross-linking reactions. The sponge dressing matrix (DHGT) was prepared by tyrosinase-catalyzed cross-linking of dopamine-modified hyaluronic acid (DOPA-HA) and gelatin. The multifunctional hybrid sponge dressing was obtained by loading polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) and titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs) onto the DHGT matrix. The newly developed sponge dressing exhibited high mechanical properties, good wet adhesion, antibacterial activity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging, biocompatibility, and excellent hemostasis ability. In vivo studies showed that the multifunctional hybrid sponge dressing could significantly accelerate the healing of infected full-thickness burn wounds by inhibiting bacterial growth, accelerating skin tissue reepithelialization, collagen deposition, and angiogenesis, as well as regulating the expression of inflammatory factors and cytokines.

Abstract
The challenge for the treatment of severe traumas poses an urgent clinical need for the development of biomaterials to achieve rapid hemostasis and wound healing. In the past few decades, active inorganic components and their derived composites have become potential clinical products owing to their excellent performances in the process of hemorrhage control and tissue repair. In this review, we provide a current overview of the development of inorganic-based biomaterials used for hemostasis and wound healing. We highlight the methods and strategies for the design of inorganic-based biomaterials, including 3D printing, freeze-drying, electrospinning and vacuum filtration. Importantly, inorganic-based biomaterials for rapid hemostasis and wound healing are presented, and we divide them into several categories according to different chemistry and forms and further discuss their properties, therapeutic mechanisms and applications. Finally, the conclusions and future prospects are suggested for the development of novel inorganic-based biomaterials in the field of rapid hemostasis and wound healing.

Abstract
In this study a novel gellan gum/pullulan bilayer film containing silibinin-loaded nanocapsules was developed for topical treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD). The bilayer films were produced by applying a pullulan layer on a gellan gum layer incorporated with silibinin nanocapsules by two-step solvent casting method. The bilayer formation was confirmed by microscopic analysis. In vitro studies showed that pullulan imparts bioadhesitvity for the films and the presence of nanocapsules increased their occlusion factor almost 2-fold. Besides, the nano-based film presented a slow silibinin release and high affinity for cutaneous tissue. Moreover, this film presented high scavenger capacity and non-hemolytic property. In the in vivo study, interestingly, the treatments with vehicle film attenuated the scratching behavior and the ear edema in mice induced by 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB). However, the nano-based film containing silibinin modulated the inflammatory and oxidative parameters in a similar or more pronounced way than silibinin solution and vehicle film, as well as than hydrocortisone, a classical treatment of AD. In conclusion, these data suggest that itself gellan gum/pullulan bilayer film might attenuate the effects induced by DNCB, acting together with silibinin-loaded nanocapsules, which protected the skin from oxidative damage, improving the therapeutic effect in this AD-model.

The challenge for treatment of severe cutaneous wound poses an urgent clinical need for the development of biomaterials to promote skin regeneration. In the past few decades, introduction of inorganic components into material system has become a promising strategy for improving performances of biomaterials in the process of tissue repair. In this review, we provide a current overview of the development of bioactive inorganic particles-based biomaterials used for skin tissue engineering. We highlight the three stages in the evolution of the bioactive inorganic biomaterials applied to wound management, including single inorganic materials, inorganic/organic composite materials, and inorganic particles-based cell-encapsulated living systems. At every stage, the primary types of bioactive inorganic biomaterials are described, followed by citation of the related representative studies completed in recent years. Then we offer a brief exposition of typical approaches to construct the composite material systems with incorporation of inorganic components for wound healing. Finally, the conclusions and future directions are suggested for the development of novel bioactive inorganic particles-based biomaterials in the field of skin regeneration.

Abstract
Several factors, such as bacterial infections, underlying conditions, malnutrition, obesity, ageing, and smoking are the most common issues that cause a delayed process of wound healing. Developing wound dressings that promote an accelerated wound healing process and skin regeneration is crucial. The properties of wound dressings that make them suitable for the acceleration of the wound healing process include good antibacterial efficacy, excellent biocompatibility, and non-toxicity, the ability to provide a moist environment, stimulating cell migration and adhesion, and providing gaseous permeation. Biopolymers have demonstrated features appropriate for the development of effective wound dressing scaffolds. Gellan gum is one of the biopolymers that has attracted great attention in biomedical applications. The wound dressing materials fabricated from gellan gum possess outstanding properties when compared to traditional dressings, such as good biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-toxicity, renewability, and stable nature. This biopolymer has been broadly employed for the development of wound dressing scaffolds in different forms. This review discusses the physicochemical and biological properties of gellan gum-based scaffolds in the management of wounds.

Abstract
Multiple microbial exopolysaccharides have been reported in recent decade with their structural and functional features. Gellan gum (GG) is among these emerging biopolymers with versatile properties. Low production yield, high downstream cost, and abundant market demand have made GG a high cost material. Hence, an understanding on the various possibilities to develop cost-effective gellan gum bioprocess is desirable. This review focuses on details of upstream and downstream process of GG from an industrial perspective. It emphasizes on GG producing Sphingomonas spp., updates on biosynthesis, strain and media engineering, kinetic modeling, bioreactor design and scale-up considerations. Details of the downstream operations with possible modifications to make it cost-effective and environmentally sustainable have been discussed. The updated regulatory criteria for GG as a food ingredient and analytical tools required to validate the same have been briefly discussed. Derivatives of GG and their applications in various industrial segments have also been highlighted.

Abstract
Chronic wounds have been a global health threat over the past few decades, requiring urgent medical and research attention. The factors delaying the wound-healing process include obesity, stress, microbial infection, aging, edema, inadequate nutrition, poor oxygenation, diabetes, and implant complications. Biomaterials are being developed and fabricated to accelerate the healing of chronic wounds, including hydrogels, nanofibrous, composite, foam, spongy, bilayered, and trilayered scaffolds. Some recent advances in biomaterials development for healing both chronic and acute wounds are extensively compiled here. In addition, various properties of biomaterials for wound-healing applications and how they affect their performance are reviewed. Based on the recent literature, trilayered constructs appear to be a convincing candidate for the healing of chronic wounds and complete skin regeneration because they mimic the full thickness of skin: epidermis, dermis, and the hypodermis. This type of scaffold provides a dense superficial layer, a bioactive middle layer, and a porous lower layer to aid the wound-healing process. The hydrophilicity of scaffolds aids cell attachment, cell proliferation, and protein adhesion. Other scaffold characteristics such as porosity, biodegradability, mechanical properties, and gas permeability help with cell accommodation, proliferation, migration, differentiation, and the release of bioactive factors.

Abstract
In tissue engineering, three-dimensional (3D) printing is an emerging approach to producing functioning tissue constructs to repair wounds and repair or replace sick tissue/organs. It allows for precise control of materials and other components in the tissue constructs in an automated way, potentially permitting great throughput production. An ink made using one or multiple biomaterials can be 3D printed into tissue constructs by the printing process; though promising in tissue engineering, the printed constructs have also been reported to have the ability to lead to the emergence of unforeseen illnesses and failure due to biomaterial-related infections. Numerous approaches and/or strategies have been developed to combat biomaterial-related infections, and among them, natural biomaterials, surface treatment of biomaterials, and incorporating inorganic agents have been widely employed for the construct fabrication by 3D printing. Despite various attempts to synthesize and/or optimize the inks for 3D printing, the incidence of infection in the implanted tissue constructs remains one of the most significant issues. For the first time, here we present an overview of inks with antibacterial properties for 3D printing, focusing on the principles and strategies to accomplish biomaterials with anti-infective properties, and the synthesis of metallic ion-containing ink, chitosan-containing inks, and other antibacterial inks. Related discussions regarding the mechanics of biofilm formation and antibacterial performance are also presented, along with future perspectives of the importance of developing printable inks.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) nanocomposite scaffold is an important material for biomedical application owing to their compatibility and effectiveness compared with other types of nanocomposites. In this research, a unique 3D nanocomposite scaffold based on carrageenan biopolymer incorporating titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes (TiO2NTs) was successfully developed. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction were employed to investigate the intermolecular interaction and phase structure of the fabricated 3D TiO2NT-incorporated carrageenan (TiO2NT/CG) nanocomposite scaffold. The ability of 3D TiO2NT/CG nanocomposite scaffold for wound healing was tested in vitro and in vivo. The in vitro study on 3T3 mouse fibroblast cells demonstrated that the number of cells increased up to 190 000 per well. Meanwhile, in vivo studies on Sprague Dawley rat exhibited that a 100% cure rate of wounds was observed after 14 days. These are attributed to the presence of ∼10 nm TiO2NTs that are homogeneously distributed onto the scaffold, as proven by scanning electron microscopy. The TiO2NTs promote wound healing by generating reactive oxygen species to induce the fibroblast growth factor and for the formation of a new extracellular matrix. The interconnected porous structure and rough surface of the 3D titanium dioxide/CG nanocomposite scaffold also support cell proliferation to expedite wound healing, thus offering a good candidate for wound-dressing application.

Abstract
Environmental issues such as plastic packaging and high demand for fresh and safe food has increased the interest for developing smart/active food packaging films with colloidal nanoparticles (NPs). Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TNPs) are cost effective and stable metal oxide NPs which could be used as a functional nano-filler for biodegradable food packaging due to their excellent biocompatibility, photo catalyzing, and antimicrobial properties. This article has comprehensively reviewed the functional properties and advantages of TNPs-containing smart/active films. The advantage of adding TNPs for ameliorating food packaging materials such as their physical, mechanical, moisture/light barrier, optical, thermal resistance, microstructure and chemical properties as well as, antibacterial, and photocatalytic properties are discussed. Also, the practical and migration properties of administrating TNPs in food packaging material are investigated. The ethylene decomposition activity of TNPs containing active films, could be used for increasing the shelf life of fruits/vegetables after harvesting. TNPs are safe with negligible migration rates which could be used for fabrication of multifunctional smart/active packaging films due to their antimicrobial properties and ethylene gas scavenging activities.

Abstract
Today, chronic wound care and management can be regarded as a clinically critical issue. However, the limitations of current approaches for wound healing have encouraged researchers and physicians to develop more efficient alternative approaches. Advances in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have resulted in the development of promising approaches that can accelerate wound healing and improve the skin regeneration rate and quality. The design and fabrication of scaffolds that can address the multifactorial nature of chronic wound occurrence and provide support for the healing process can be considered an important area requiring improvement. In this regard, polysaccharide-based scaffolds have distinctive properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, high water retention capacity and nontoxicity, making them ideal for wound healing applications. Their tunable structure and networked morphology could facilitate a number of functions, such as controlling their diffusion, maintaining wound moisture, absorbing a large amount of exudates and facilitating gas exchange. In this review, the wound healing process and the influential factors, structure and properties of carbohydrate polymers, physical and chemical crosslinking of polysaccharides, scaffold fabrication techniques, and the use of polysaccharide-based scaffolds in skin tissue engineering and wound healing applications are discussed.

Abstract
Implant-associated bacterial infections significantly impair the integration between titanium and soft tissues. Traditional antibacterial modifications of titanium implants are able to eliminate bacteria, but the resulting pro-inflammatory reactions are usually ignored, which still poses potential risks to human bodies. Here, a dual drug-loading system on titanium has been developed via the adhesion of a catechol motif-modified methacrylated gelatin hydrogel onto TiO2 nanotubes. Then synthesized CaO2 nanoparticles (NPs) are embedded into the hydrogel, and interleukin-4 (IL-4) is loaded into the nanotubes to achieve both antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. The dual drug-loading system can eliminate Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) rapidly, attributed to the H2 O2 release from CaO2 NPs. The potential cytotoxicity of CaO2 NPs is also remarkably reduced after being embedded into the hydrogel. More importantly, with the gradual release of IL-4, the dual drug-loading system is capable of modulating pro-inflammatory reactions by inducing M2 phenotype polarization of macrophages. In a subcutaneous infection model, the S. aureus contamination is effectively resolved after 2 days, and the resulting pro-inflammatory reactions are also inhibited after 7 days. Finally, the damaged tissue is significantly recovered. Taken together, the dual drug-loading system exhibits great therapeutic potential in effectively killing pathogens and inhibiting the resulting pro-inflammatory reactions.

Abstract
The demand for wound care products, especially advanced and active wound care products is huge. In this study, gellan gum (GG) and virgin coconut oil (VCO) were utilized to develop microemulsion-based hydrogel for wound dressing materials. A ternary phase diagram was constructed to obtain an optimized ratio of VCO, water, and surfactant to produce VCO microemulsion. The VCO microemulsion was incorporated into gellan gum (GG) hydrogel (GVCO) and their chemical interaction, mechanical performance, physical properties, and thermal behavior were examined. The stress-at-break (σ) and Young's modulus (YM) of GVCO hydrogel films were increased along with thermal behavior with the inclusion of VCO microemulsion. The swelling degree of GVCO hydrogel decreased as the VCO microemulsion increased and the water vapor transmission rate of GVCO hydrogels was comparable to commercial dressing in the range of 332-391 g m-2 d-1. The qualitative antibacterial activities do not show any inhibition against Gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis) bacteria. In vivo studies on Sprague-Dawley rats show the wound contraction of GVCO hydrogel is best (95 ± 2%) after the 14th day compared to a commercial dressing of Smith and Nephew Opsite post-op waterproof dressing, and this result is supported by the ultrasound images of wound skin and histological evaluation of the wound. The findings suggest that GVCO hydrogel has the potential to be developed as a biomedical material.

Abstract
In recent years, a strong interest has emerged in polysaccharide-hybrid composites and their potential applications, which have interesting functional and technological properties. This review summarizes and discusses the reported advantages and limitations of the functionalization of conventional and nonconventional polysaccharides by adding TiO2 nanoparticles as a reinforcement agent. Their effects on the mechanical, thermal, and UV-barrier properties as well as their water-resistance are discussed. In general, the polysaccharide–TiO2 hybrid materials showed improved physicochemical properties in a TiO2 content-dependent response. It showed antimicrobial activity against bacteria (gram-negative and gram-positive), yeasts, and molds with enhanced UV-protective effects for food and non-food packaging purposes. The reported applications of functionalized polysaccharide–TiO2 composites include photocatalysts (dye removal from aqueous media and water purification), biomedical (wound-healing material, drug delivery systems, biosensor, and tissue engineering), food preservation (fruits and meat), cosmetics (sunscreen and bleaching tooth treatment), textile (cotton fabric self-cleaning), and dye-sensitized solar cells. Furthermore, the polysaccharide–TiO2 showed high biocompatibility without adverse effects on different cell lines, indicating that their use in food, pharmaceutical, and biomedical applications is safe. However, it is necessary to evaluate the structural changes promoted by the storage conditions (time and temperature) on the physicochemical properties of polysaccharide–TiO2 hybrid composites to guarantee their stability during a determined time.

Abstract
Cellulose is one of the most affordable, sustainable and renewable resources, and has attracted much attention especially in the form of nanocellulose. Bacterial cellulose, cellulose nanocrystals or nanofibers may serve as a polymer support to enhance the effectiveness of metal nanoparticles. The resultant hybrids are valuable materials for biomedical applications due to the novel optical, electronic, magnetic and antibacterial properties. In the present review, the preparation methods, properties and application of nanocellulose hybrids with different metal oxides nanoparticles such as zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, copper oxide, magnesium oxide or magnetite are thoroughly discussed. Nanocellulose-metal oxides antibacterial formulations are preferred to antibiotics due to the lack of microbial resistance, which is the main cause for the antibiotics failure to cure infections. Metal oxide nanoparticles may be separately synthesized and added to nanocellulose (ex situ processes) or they can be synthesized using nanocellulose as a template (in situ processes). In the latter case, the precursor is trapped inside the nanocellulose network and then reduced to the metal oxide. The influence of the synthesis methods and conditions on the thermal and mechanical properties, along with the bactericidal and cytotoxicity responses of nanocellulose-metal oxides hybrids were mainly analyzed in this review. The current status of research in the field and future perspectives were also signaled.

Abstract
GELLAN GUM: and gellan-derived materials have never been used for suture materials due to their lack of strength and toughness. In this study, gellan and ε-polylysine formed a polyion complex in water solution, and the complex was transformed into fibers via wet-spinning. The fibers were bundled, twisted, and elongated, and the resultant twisted and elongated yarn (GPF) had a diameter of 97.53-103.76 μm and tensile strength of 4 N. The swelling ratio of GPF was 165.55%-183.23% in weight in normal saline, and the linear density was 2.84-3.31 g/km. GPF was tested using agar diffusion tests and it was found that the fibers had good antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis. In weight loss experiments, GPF was found to be undegradable in normal saline and slightly degradable (residual weight ratio was 83.2 ± 1.2%) in simulated body fluid with trypsin within 7 days. Moreover, GPF showed no cytotoxicity toward BV-2 cells in cytotoxity tests with CCK8 and no hemolysis in hemolytic tests with fresh C57 mice blood. Finally, GPF was assessed using mouse dorsal cross-cutting model, and none of the mice that were tested with GPF showed infection or rejection reaction. Therefore, GPF is a promising suture material, and this study provides a new development direction for the application of gellan materials with improved mechanical properties.
