Incorporation of nanoparticles into biomaterials is of interest due to the high demand for medical devices with enhanced mechanical properties. In this study, cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) were incorporated in electrospun gelatin nanofibers at various loadings (0-15% w/w) and characterized using XRD, TGA, TEM, SEM, FTIR, and tensile tests. Results obtained from TGA and tensile properties indicate that CNC were agglomerated at loadings exceeding 5%; however, TEM showed excellent dispersion of nanoparticles at 5% CNC. A slight increase in biodegradability of crosslinked gelatin nanofibers was observed with CNC incorporation. MTT cytotoxicity, fluorescent staining, and SEM images showed that CNC had no significant effect on cell growth and proliferation.

During surgical procedures, skin and soft tissue wounds are often infected by resistant strains of gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria, resulting in serious obstacles to the healing of these wounds. Commercially available dressings for such wounds are still insufficient to combat resistant infections. Here, we designed vancomycin and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) loaded poly(vinyl)-pyrrolidone-gelatine nanofiber's membrane dressing for potential synergistic efficiency against infected post-surgical wounds.

Although tissue engineering science has made great progress, wound healing has remained a significant clinical challenge, especially in cases of severe injuries requiring advanced treatment strategies. This study aimed to develop patient-friendly in situ gelling nanofibers composed of oxidized carboxymethyl cellulose (OCMC) and gelatin for wound healing applications. A two-axial electrospinning technique was employed to fabricate OCMC/PVA-Gelatin hybrid nanofibers.

Non-compressible hemostasis and promoting tissue healing are important in soft tissue trauma repair. Inorganic aerogels show superior performance in rapid hemostasis or promoting tissue healing, but simultaneously promoting non-compressive hemostasis and soft tissue healing still remains a challenge. Herein, SiO-based inorganic nanofiber aerogels (M@SiO, M=Ca, Mg, and Sr) were prepared by freeze-drying the mixture of bioactive silicates-deposited SiO nanofibers and SiO sol.

Background: Impairment of the visceral pleura following thoracic surgery often leads to air leaks and intrathoracic adhesions. For preventing such complications, mesothelial cell proliferation at the pleural defects can be effective. To develop new materials for pleural defects restoration, we constructed a hybrid artificial pleural tissue (H-APLT) combining polyglycolic acid (PGA) nanofiber sheets with a three-dimensional culture of mesothelial cells and fibroblasts and evaluated its therapeutic efficacy in a rat pleural defect model.

The bacterial infection and oxidative wound microenvironment delay skin repair and necessitate intelligent wound dressings to enable scarless wound healing. The immunoglobulin of yolk (IgY) exhibits immunotherapeutic potential for the potential treatment of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens, while cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO NPs) could scavenge superoxide dismutase (SOD) and inflammation. The overarching objective of this study was to incorporate IgY and CeO NPs into poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide)/gelatin (PLGA/Gel)-based dressings (P/G@IYCe) for infected skin repair.
