Antioxidant hydrogels that can provide a moist environment and scavenge reactive oxygen species have emerged as highly potential wound dressing materials. In situ-forming and good tissue adhesiveness will make them more desirable, as they can fill the irregular wound defect, stick to the wound, and offer intimate contact with the wound. Herein, a hydrogel dressing combining in situ-forming, good tissue adhesiveness, and excellent antioxidant capabilities was developed by simply conjugating dopamine onto carboxymethyl chitosan.

Skin serves as the first-order protective barrier against the environment and any significant disruptions in skin integrity must be promptly restored. Despite significant advances in therapeutic strategies, effective management of large chronic skin wounds remains a clinical challenge. Dermal fibroblasts are the primary cell type responsible for remodeling the extracellular matrix (ECM) in wound healing.

The use of mesh repair is a frequently employed technique in the clinical management of abdominal wall defects. However, for intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM), the traditional mesh requires additional fixation methods, and these severely limit its application in the repair of abdominal wall defects. We drew inspiration from the adhesion properties of mussels for the present study, functionalized carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with dopamine (DA), and added polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to the composite to further improve the wet adhesive ability of hydrogels.

Hydrogel drug-delivery system that can effectively load antibacterial drugs, realize the in-situ drug release in the microenvironment of wound infection to promote wound healing. In this study, a multifunctional hydrogel drug delivery system (HA@TA-Okra) was constructed through the integration of hyaluronic acid methacrylate (HAMA) matrix with tannic acid (TA) and okra extract. The composition and structural characteristics of HA@TA-Okra system and its unique advantages in the treatment of diverse wounds were systematically evaluated.

Thermal or burn injuries cause coagulative necrosis of the epidermis and underlying tissues and the resultant wounds can be long lasting and highly painful. Depending on the depth of a burn, management ranges from local wound care to surgical intervention. When presented with deep-partial thickness and full-thickness burns, autologous skin grafting has been the mainstay of management to prevent scarring and promote healing.
