The PIC hydrogel facilitated the release of DOX or LXA(4) for around 4 days in vitro. When applied in dogs, the hydrogel exerted no local or systemic adverse effects. Gels loaded with LXA(4) and/or DOX reduced the subgingival bacterial load and pro-inflammatory interleukin-8 level. In ...
Hence, effective inhibition of bacterial contamination in the initial stage and management of bacteria-induced inflammation in later stage are paramount for wound healing [6]. Consequently, the antibacterial efficacy of a wound dressing was of great importance. Traditionally, hydrogel wound dressings ...
multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), graphene, graphene oxide and carbon aerogels for antibacterial applications. The size (diameter) of nanotubes is considered to be an important factor for assessing the bactericidal potential of CNTs since SWCNTs ...
Manuka honey essential oil hydrogel has also been tested in vivo in full-thickness wounds in dogs, but the results of this study did not provide evidence to support its clinical application in small, acute wounds in healthy dogs [38]. In recent years, the antibacterial properties of Allium (...
Polymer structures other than brushes have been thoroughly explored for AMP tethering, most of them hydrogels. For instance, Cleophas et al. [130] developed an one-pot photopolymerization process that allowed simultaneous hydrogel formation and AMP immobilization to create a coating on polyethylene terep...

In other studies, it was found that the hydrogel catheters were responsible for catheter blockage [56]. 4.1.2. Poly(Tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) Coating PTFE is also known as Teflon, and it is also commercially available. PTFE coatings have excellent non-stick properties and can resist ...
An improved injectable polysaccharide hydrogel: Modified gellan gum for long-term cartilage regeneration in vitro. J. Mater. Chem. 2009, 19, 1968–1977. [CrossRef] 13. Tang, Y.; Sun, J.; Fan, H.; Zhang, X. An improved complex gel of modified gellan gum and carboxymethyl chitosan for ...
Controlled release of silver ions from AgNPs using a hydrogel based on konjac glucomannan and chitosan for infected wounds. Int. J. Biol. Macromol. 2020, 149, 148–157. [Google Scholar] [CrossRef] Akhavan, O.; Abdolahad, M.; Asadi, R. Storage of Ag nanoparticles in pore-arrays of SU...
salivarius K12 made up 15.435 × 104 kDa, making it attainable to use as a capping agent and hydrogel-based wound dressing. In producing CoS-BL@AgNPs following green biosynthesis, the presence of nanostructured objects with size distributions from 12.67 ± 5.56 nm to 46.97 ± 20.23 nm was ...
