Abstract
Full-thickness diabetic wounds are chronic injuries characterized by bleeding, excessive exude, and prolonged inflammation. Single-layer dressings fail to address their disturbed pathophysiology. Therefore, bilayer dressings with structural and compositional differences in each layer have gained attention. We hypothesized that natural polymer (alginate, curdlan, and agarose) based bilayer dressings with inherent healing properties could effectively resolve these issues. Hence, bilayer dressings were fabricated by electrospinning curdlan/agarose/ polyvinyl alcohol blend (top layer) on an alginate/agarose/polyvinyl alcohol-based lyophilized porous (bottom) layer. Ciprofloxacin was incorporated in both layers as a potential antibacterial drug. The bilayer dressing exhibited high swelling (~1300 %), biocompatibility (>90 % with NIH 3T3 and L929 mouse fibroblasts), and hemocompatibility (hemolysis <5 %). In vitro, scratch assay revealed a faster wound closure (~ 95-100 %) than control. Inhibition zone assay revealed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Real-time (in vitro) gene expression experiments performed using human THP-1 macrophages exhibited a significant increase in anti-inflammatory cytokines (4.51 fold in IL-10) and a decrease in pro-inflammatory cytokines (1.42 fold in IL-6) in comparison to lipopolysaccharide. Thus, fabricated dressings with high swelling, hemostatic, immunomodulatory, and antibacterial characteristics can serve as potential multifunctional and sustainable templates for healing full-thickness diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex and dynamic process that needs an appropriate environment to overcome infection and inflammation to progress well. Wounds lead to morbidity, mortality, and a significant economic burden, often due to the non-availability of suitable treatments. Hence, this field has lured the attention of researchers and pharmaceutical industries for decades. As a result, the global wound care market is expected to be 27.8 billion USD by 2026 from 19.3 billion USD in 2021, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6 %. Wound dressings have emerged as an effective treatment to maintain moisture, protect from pathogens, and impede wound healing. However, synthetic polymer-based dressings fail to comprehensively address optimal and quick regeneration requirements. Natural polymers like glucan and galactan-based carbohydrate dressings have received much attention due to their inherent biocompatibility, biodegradability, inexpensiveness, and natural abundance. Also, nanofibrous mesh supports better proliferation and migration of fibroblasts because of their large surface area and similarity to the extracellular matrix (ECM). Thus, nanostructured dressings derived from glucans and galactans (i.e., chitosan, agar/agarose, pullulan, curdlan, carrageenan, etc.) can overcome the limitations associated with traditional wound dressings. However, they require further development pertaining to the wireless determination of wound bed status and its clinical assessment. The present review intends to provide insight into such carbohydrate-based nanofibrous dressings and their prospects, along with some clinical case studies.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds with complex pathophysiology significantly burden the wound care industry and require novel management strategies. In the present study, we hypothesized that agarose-curdlan based nanofibrous dressings could be an effective biomaterial for addressing diabetic wounds due to their inherent healing properties. Hence, agarose/curdlan/polyvinyl alcohol based nanofibrous mats loaded with ciprofloxacin (0, 1, 3, and 5 wt%) were fabricated using an electrospinning technique with water and formic acid. In vitro evaluation revealed the average diameter of the fabricated nanofibers between 115 and 146 nm with high swelling (~450-500 %) properties. They exhibited enhanced mechanical strength (7.46 ± 0.80 MPa -7.79 ± 0.007 MPa) and significant biocompatibility (~90-98 %) with L929 and NIH 3T3 mouse fibroblasts. In vitro scratch assay showed higher proliferation and migration of fibroblasts (~90-100 % wound closure) compared to electrospun PVA and control. Significant antibacterial activity was observed against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. In vitro real-time gene expression studies with human THP-1 cell line revealed a significant downregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines (8.64 fold decrease for TNF-α) and upregulation of anti-inflammatory cytokines (6.83 fold increase for IL-10) compared to lipopolysaccharide. In brief, the results advocate agarose-curdlan mat as a potential multifunctional, bioactive, and eco-friendly dressing for healing diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Despite several advances in chronic wound management, natural product based scaffolds with high exude absorption and mechanical strength are still a hotspot in the medical field. Thus, present study illustrates the fabrication of agarose (AG; 10% w/v)/polyvinyl alcohol 12% w/v) based multifunctional nanofibrous electrospun scaffolds. Zinc citrate (1%, 3% and 5% w/w of the polymer) was used as a potential antibacterial agent. The fabricated scaffolds exhibit a swelling of ∼550% in phosphate buffer saline and mechanical strength of 10.11 ± 0.31 MPa which is suitable for most of the wound healing applications that require high strength. In vitro study revealed an increased migration and proliferation of L929 fibroblasts with AG blends when compared to the control. The fabricated scaffolds exhibited antibacterial properties against both Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive) and Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) bacterial strains. Hence, a multifunctional (ability to protect wounds from bacterial infections along with effective swelling and mechanical support), natural product based, eco-friendly scaffold to serve as a potential wound dressing material has been successfully fabricated.

Abstract
Although several advances have been made in the field of medicine during the last few decades, yet targeted delivery of biomolecules is still a significant challenge. Thus, the present study illustrates the fabrication of dual nature magneto-conducting Fe3 O4 -SU8 derived carbon-based Janus microbots that could deliver biomolecules efficiently inside cells. These microsystems possess dual properties, that is, the half part is magneto-conducting, and another half is only conducting for sufficing the therapeutic payloads efficiently under electromagnetic stimulations. These microbots are intrinsically fluorescent, which can help to trace them intracellularly without using any dye. UV photolithography was employed to design these low aspect ratio microbots (feature size ∼2.5 μm diameter and 3.7 μm length) for attaining better control over locomotion with minimum magnetic field intensity. Interestingly, Janus microbots achieved a higher speed in the electric field (44 µm/s) as compared to the magnetic field (18 µm/s). Moreover, in vitro studies show a higher microbots uptake by HeLa cells in the presence of an external electric field as compared to without electrical field stimulation.

Abstract
The study presented in this work consists of two parts: The first part is the synthesis of Graphene oxide-Fe3O4 nanocomposites by a mechanochemical method which, is a mechanical process that is likely to yield extremely heterogeneous particles. The second part includes a study on the efficacy of these Graphene oxide-Fe3O4 nanocomposites to kill cancerous cells. Iron powder, ball milled along with graphene oxide in a toluene medium, underwent a controlled oxidation process. Different phases of GO-Fe3O4 nanocomposites were obtained based on the composition used for milling. As synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), alternating magnetic field (AFM), Raman spectroscopy, and a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Additionally, the magnetic properties required to obtain high SAR values (Specific Absorption Rate-Power absorbed per unit mass of the magnetic nanocomposite in the presence of an applied magnetic field) for the composite were optimized by varying the milling time. Nanocomposites milled for different extents of time have shown differential behavior for magneto thermic heating. The magnetic composites synthesized by the ball milled method were able to retain the functional groups of graphene oxide. The efficacy of the magnetic nanocomposites for killing of cancerous cells is studied in vitro using HeLa cells in the presence of an AC (Alternating Current) magnetic field. The morphology of the HeLa cells subjected to 10 min of AC magnetic field changed considerably, indicating the death of the cells.
