Thin xyloglucan-based hydrogel films have been synthetized and characterized in the prospect of producing wound dressings. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and glycerol (Gro) were added to have an optimal combination of softness, conformability and resilience. Physical hydrogels have been transformed into permanent covalent hydrogels by reaction with glutaraldehyde (GA). Network structure-process-property relationships are discussed on the account of the results of several complementary characterizations: FTIR, rheology, thermal analysis, morphological analysis, moisture retention and swelling measurements. Selected formulations were also subjected to preliminary in vitro cytotoxicity tests. The physical and mechanical properties of some of the xyloglucan-based hydrogel films produced, combined with absence of cytotoxicity, make them suitable candidates for integration with sensors to monitor the wound healing process and further biological investigations in animal models.

Indigenous polymers have functional implications in biomedicine due to the presence of an inherent favorable structural architecture that supports hydrogel formation. In this study, we present the molecular level characterization of xyloglucan hydrogels using experimental and molecular simulation methods. We studied supramolecular self-assembly of tamarind seed-derived xyloglucan induced by low molecular weight gelators to form dense networks and rationalized its capabilities as a multifunctional and multiresponsive matrix for holding hydrophobic nanometric oleic acid globules intact for extended periods, preventing coalescence triggered instability using computational methods and imaging.

In wound dressing applications, exudate absorption and retention are important properties. The data presented here assess the ability of the crosslinked xyloglucan-poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel films (XG-PVA), described in "Xyloglucan-based hydrogel films for wound dressing: Structure-property relationships" (Ajovalasit et al., 2018) [1] and "Biocompatibility, hemocompatibility and antimicrobial properties of xyloglucan-based hydrogel film for wound healing application" (Picone et al.

Crosslinked xyloglucan-poly(vinyl alcohol) based hydrogel films are interesting materials for wound healing applications. This work focuses on the hydrolytic degradation and consequent morphological modification of a XG-PVA film and on its interaction with cells, blood, bacteria. Biocompatibility of the film was assessed in vitro by investigating different aspects, such as cell viability, oxidative stress level, mitochondrial dysfunction and specific stress biomarkers.

Unlabelled: Peritoneal adhesion is very common after abdominal and pelvic surgery, which leads to a variety of severe complications. Although numerous pharmacological treatments and barrier-based devices have been investigated to minimize or prevent postoperative adhesion, the clinical efficacy is not very encouraging. In this work, a biodegradable and thermoreversible galactose modified xyloglucan (mXG) hydrogel was developed and the efficacy of mXG hydrogel in preventing postoperative peritoneal adhesion was investigated.
