Skin tissue injuries necessitate particular care due to associated complex healing mechanisms. Current investigations in the domain of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are focused on obtaining novel scaffolds adapted as potential delivery systems to restore lost tissue functions and properties. In this study, we describe the fabrication and evaluation of a novel 3D scaffold structure based on collagen and silk sericin (CollSS) enriched with microcapsules containing natural compounds, curcumin (C), and/or quercetin (Q).

- The European fallow deer is highly adaptable and found in various habitats across the Western Plains of Romania, showcasing its ecological plasticity.
- The deer interacts with both wild and domestic animals, raising concerns about the health risks posed by parasites and zoonotic diseases among animal populations.
- A study examined 133 esophagi of fallow deer, finding nematodes in 18.80% of samples, with a notable discovery of a new nematode species previously unreported in Romania.
Article Synopsis
- Various types of dressings, like membranes and hydrogels, are used to enhance wound healing; this study focused on creating a new nanocomposite material combining a crosslinked polysaccharide hydrogel with a bioactive ingredient.
- The researchers investigated how different ratios of the hydrogel components affected swelling, degradation, and thermo-mechanical properties, using techniques like FTIR and microscopy for characterization.
- The newly developed hydrogels demonstrated antimicrobial properties against common bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli), indicating their potential effectiveness as antibacterial wound dressings.
This review presents a perspective on the research trends and solutions from recent years in the domain of antimicrobial packaging materials. The antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant activities can be induced by the main polymer used for packaging or by addition of various components from natural agents (bacteriocins, essential oils, natural extracts, etc.) to synthetic agents, both organic and inorganic (Ag, ZnO, TiO nanoparticles, synthetic antibiotics etc.
