Modulating the photodynamic modality of Au 22 nanoclusters through surface conjugation of arginine for promoted healing of bacteria-infected wounds

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: NCs, leading to the photodynamic eradication of bacterial infections and reduced inflammation in the wound area without causing systemic harm or impairing blood and liver functions. This study introduces a novel approach to designing metal NC-based photodynamic antibacterials with multiple antibacterial actions, contributing to deeper understanding of ROS/RNS-mediated antibacterial mechanisms, and future utilization of metal NCs in antibacterial therapies.
