Copper-MOF and tannic acid-empowered composite cryogel as a skin substitute for accelerated deep wound healing. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2024; 164:213983. [PMID: 39137704 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2024.213983] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2024] [Revised: 07/31/2024] [Accepted: 08/01/2024] [Indexed: 08/15/2024]
Abstract
The effective management of deep skin wounds remains a significant healthcare challenge that often deteriorates with bacterial infection, oxidative stress, tissue necrosis, and excessive production of wound exudate. Current medical approaches, including traditional wound dressing materials, cannot effectively address these issues. There is a great need to engineer advanced and multifunctional wound dressings to address this multifaceted problem effectively. Herein, a rationally designed composite cryogel composed of a Copper Metal-Organic Framework (Cu-MOF), tannic acid (TA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and zein protein has been developed by freeze-thaw technique. Cryogels display a remarkable swelling capacity attributed to their interconnected microporous morphology. Moreover, dynamic mechanical behaviour with the characteristics of potent antimicrobial, antioxidant, and biodegradation makes it a desirable wound dressing material. It was further confirmed that the material is highly biocompatible and can release TA and copper ions in a controlled manner. In-vivo skin irritation in a rat model demonstrated that composite cryogel did not provoke any irritation/inflammation when applied to the skin of a healthy recipient. In a deep wound model, the composite cryogel significantly accelerates the wound healing rate. These findings highlight the multifunctional nature of composite cryogels and their promising potential for clinical applications as advanced wound dressings.

Abstract
Soft robots have the advantage of adaptability and flexibility in various scenarios and tasks due to their inherent flexibility and mouldability, which makes them highly promising for real-world applications. The development of electronic skin (E-skin) perception systems is crucial for the advancement of soft robots. However, achieving both exteroceptive and proprioceptive capabilities in E-skins, particularly in terms of decoupling and classifying sensing signals, remains a challenge. This study presents an E-skin with mixed electronic and ionic conductivity that can simultaneously achieve exteroceptive and proprioceptive, based on the resistance response of conductive hydrogels. It is integrated with soft robots to enable state perception, with the sensed signals further decoded using the machine learning model of decision trees and random forest algorithms. The results demonstrate that the newly developed hydrogel sensing system can accurately predict attitude changes in soft robots when subjected to varying degrees of pressing, hot pressing, bending, twisting, and stretching. These findings that multifunctional hydrogels combine with machine learning to decode signals may serve as a basis for improving the sensing capabilities of intelligent soft robots in future advancements.

Abstract
With the increasingly mature research on protein-based multi-component systems at home and abroad, the current research on protein-based functional systems has also become a hot spot and focus in recent years. In the functional system, the types of functional factors and their interactions with other components are usually considered to be the subjective factors of the functional strength of the system. Because this process is accompanied by the transfer of protons and electrons in the system, it has antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Polyphenols and polysaccharides have the advantages of wide source, excellent functionality and good compatibility with proteins, and have become excellent and representative functional factors. However, polyphenols and polysaccharides are usually accompanied by poor stability, poor solubility and low bioavailability when used as functional factors. Therefore, the effect of separate release and delivery will inevitably lead to non-significant or direct degradation. After forming a multi-component composite system with the protein, the functional factor will form a stable system driven by hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic forces and electrostatic forces between the functional factor and the protein. When used as a delivery system, it will protect the functional factor, and when released, through the specific recognition of the cell membrane receptor signal, the effect of fixed-point delivery is achieved. In addition, this multi-component composite system can also form a functional composite film by other means, which has a long-term significance for prolonging the shelf life of food and carrying out specific antibacterial.

Abstract
Burn wounds (BWs) cause impairment of native skin tissue and may cause significant microbial infections that demand immediate care. Curcumin (Cur) and quercetin (Que) exhibit antimicrobial, hemocompatibility, ROS-scavenging, and anti-inflammatory properties. However, its instability, water insolubility, and low biological fluid absorption render it challenging to sustain local Cur and Que doses at the wound site. Therefore, to combat these limitations, we employed blow-spinning and freeze-drying to develop a multi-layered, Cur/Que-loaded gelatin/chitosan/PCL (GCP-Q/C) nanofibroporous (NFP) matrix. Morphological analysis of the NFP-matrix using SEM revealed a well-formed multi-layered structure. The FTIR and XRD plots demonstrated dual-bioactive incorporation and scaffold polymer interaction. Additionally, the GCP-Q/C matrix displayed high porosity (82.7 ± 2.07 %), adequate pore size (∼121 μm), enhanced water-uptake ability (∼675 % within 24 h), and satisfactory biodegradation. The scaffolds with bioactives had a long-term release, increased antioxidant activity, and were more effective against gram-positive (S. aureus) and gram-negative (E. coli) bacteria than the unloaded scaffolds. The in vitro findings of GCP-Q/C scaffolds showed promoted L929 cell growth and hemocompatibility. Additionally, an in vivo full-thickness BW investigation found that an implanted GCP-Q/C matrix stimulates rapid recuperation and tissue regeneration. In accordance with the findings, the Gel/Ch/PCL-Que/Cur NFP-matrix could represent an effective wound-healing dressing for BWs.

Abstract
Maintaining the continuous oxygen supply and proper cell growth before blood vessel ingrowth at the bone defect site are considerably significant issues in bone regeneration. Oxygen-producing scaffolds can supply oxygen and avoid hypoxia leading to expedited bone regeneration. Herein, first oxygen-producing calcium peroxide nanoparticles (CPO NPs) are synthesized, and subsequently, the various amounts of synthesized CPO NPs (0.1, 0.5, and 1 wt/v%) loaded in the scaffold composite, which is developed by simple physical blending of chitosan (CS) and polycaprolactone (PCL) polymers. To deliver the synergistic therapeutic effect, dexamethasone (DEX), known for its potential anti-inflammatory and osteogenic properties, is loaded into the nanocomposite scaffolds. The extensive physicochemical characterizations of nanocomposite scaffolds confirm the successful loading of CPO NPs, adequate porous morphology, pore size, hydrophilicity, and biodegradability.In vitro, biological studies support the antibacterial, hemocompatible, and cytocompatible (MG-63 and MC3T3-E1 cells) nature of the material when tested on respective cells. Field emission scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy confirm the successful biomineralization of the scaffolds. Scaffolds also exhibit the sustained release of DEX and efficient protein adsorption. This study revealed that a nanoengineered scaffold loaded with CPO NPs (PCL/CS/DEX/CPO 3) is a suitable candidate for bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
In this study, gellan gum (Gel) derivatives were allowed to interact via aqueous Diels-Alder chemistry without the need for initiators, producing a crosslinked hydrogel network that exhibited good potential as a drug carrier using tramadol as a drug model. Hydrogel conjugation was achieved by the synthesis of a maleimide and furan-functionalized Gel, and the pre- and post-gelation chemical structure of the resulting hydrogel precursors was fully investigated. Potential uses of the developed hydrogel in the pharmaceutical industry were also evaluated by looking at its gelation duration, temperature, morphologies, swelling, biodegradation, and mechanical characteristics. The Gel-FM hydrogels were safe, showed good antimicrobial activity, and had a low storage modulus, which meant that they could be used in many biochemical fields. The encapsulation and release of tramadol from the hydrogel system in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at 37 °C were investigated under acidic and slightly alkaline conditions, replicating the stomach and intestinal tracts, respectively. The in-vitro release profile showed promising results for drug encapsulation, revealing that the drug could safely be well-encapsulated in acidic stomach environments and released more quickly in slightly alkaline intestinal environments. This implies that the hydrogels produced could work well as polymers for specifically delivering medication to the colon.

Abstract
Studies on bionanocomposite drug carriers are a key area in the field of active substance delivery, introducing innovative approaches to improve drug therapy. Such drug carriers play a crucial role in enhancing the bioavailability of active substances, affecting therapy efficiency and precision. The targeted delivery of drugs to the targeted sites of action and minimization of toxicity to the body is becoming possible through the use of these advanced carriers. Recent research has focused on bionanocomposite structures based on biopolymers, including lipids, polysaccharides, and proteins. This review paper is focused on the description of lipid-containing nanocomposite carriers (including liposomes, lipid emulsions, lipid nanoparticles, solid lipid nanoparticles, and nanostructured lipid carriers), polysaccharide-containing nanocomposite carriers (including alginate and cellulose), and protein-containing nanocomposite carriers (e.g., gelatin and albumin). It was demonstrated in many investigations that such carriers show the ability to load therapeutic substances efficiently and precisely control drug release. They also demonstrated desirable biocompatibility, which is a promising sign for their potential application in drug therapy. The development of bionanocomposite drug carriers indicates a novel approach to improving drug delivery processes, which has the potential to contribute to significant advances in the field of pharmacology, improving therapeutic efficacy while minimizing side effects.

Abstract
Worldwide, burn wounds are severe health issues prone to bacterial infections and challenging to treat with traditional wound dressings. Therefore, a highly desirable biological macromolecules-based wound dressing with good antioxidant, antibacterial, biocompatible, and a large surface area is required. Herein, aim to develop a biological macromolecules-based physically cross-linked gelatin/polyglyceryl stearate/graphene oxide (GPGO) hydrogel to treat burn wounds. Four sets of hydrogels were prepared by varying GO concentrations. FT-IR, FE-SEM, viscosity analysis, mechanical and thermal stability confirmed the successful preparation of hydrogels with desired properties. Further, β-carotene (0.5 mg/mL) was encapsulated in hydrogels to enhance the antioxidant activity, and a cumulative release as well as kinetics at pH 6.4 and 7.4 was performed. With an increase in GO concentration, hydrogels showed sustained release of β-carotene. Among all, GPGO-3 β hydrogel showed the highest antioxidant potency (57.75 %), hemocompatible (<5 %), cytocompatible (viable with NIH 3T3 cells), cell migration, proliferation, and in vitro wound healing. Also, GPGO-3 β hydrogel showed efficient antibacterial activity (%inhibition of 85.5 % and 80.2 % and zone of 11 mm and 9.8 mm against S. aureus and E. coli). These results demonstrated the ability of GPGO-3 β hydrogel as a promising candidate for burn wound healing applications.
