Skin Wound Healing: Micelle‐Coated, Hierarchically Structured Nanofibers with Dual‐Release Capability for Accelerated Wound Healing and Infection Control (Adv. Healthcare Mater. 11/2018)
Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: Healing of chronic wounds is challenging because of the imbalance of growth factors and common occurrence of infection. In article 1800132, Svetlana A. Sukhishvili and co-workers develop a dual-releasing, multiscale system of biodegradable nanofibers to simultaneously accelerate wound healing and mitigate bacterial infection. A unique strategy of submicron topography provided by the surface-bound polymer micelles enables accelerated wound healing and supported localized delivery of antibiotics.
