A novel multifunctional chitosan-gelatin/carboxymethyl cellulose-alginate bilayer hydrogel containing human placenta extract for accelerating full-thickness wound healing.

The replication of skin's dermal and epidermal morphology within a full-thickness wound using a bi-layer hydrogel to cater to their distinct needs is a compelling pursuit. Moreover, human placenta extract (HPE), containing a diverse array of bioactive agents, has proven to be effective in promoting the wound healing process and enhancing epidermal keratinocytes. This study presents a multifunctional bi-layer hydrogel incorporating HPE for accelerating full-thickness wound healing through sustained HPE release, inhibition of bacteria invasion, and promotion of cell proliferation.
