Patients with diabetes mellitus have up to a 15% lifetime risk of non-healing and poorly healing wounds. This work develops core-shell nanofibrous bioactive insulin-loaded poly-D-L-lactide-glycolide (PLGA) scaffolds that release insulin in a sustained manner for repairing wounds in diabetic rats. To prepare the biodegradable core-shell nanofibers, PLGA and insulin solutions were fed into two capillary tubes of different sizes that were coaxially electrospun using two independent pumps. The scaffolds sustainably released insulin for four weeks. The hydrophilicity and water-containing capacity of core-shell nanofibrous insulin/PLGA scaffolds significantly exceeded those of blended nanofibrous scaffolds. The nanofibrous core-shell insulin-loaded scaffold reduced the amount of type I collagen in vitro, increased the transforming growth factor-beta content in vivo, and promoted diabetic would repair. The core-shell insulin-loaded nanofibrous scaffolds prolong the release of insulin and promote diabetic wound healing.

In this study, we constructed a novel powder-laden core-shell crosslinked chitosan microneedle patch for high-dose and controllable delivery of various drugs, including both macromolecular biological drugs and small-molecule chemical drugs. Direct loading of drug powders greatly improved drug loading capacity and minimized degradation. The results of the in vitro drug release study suggested that the release behaviors of the most tested drugs (both macromolecular drugs and small-molecule drugs) can be tuned by adjusting the crosslink density of the microneedle shell to achieve either rapid or sustained release of the loaded drug.

In recent years, zwitterionic materials have drawn great attention in oral drug delivery system due to their capacity for rapid mucus diffusion and enhanced cellular internalization. However, zwitterionic materials tend to show strong polarity that was hard to directly coat hydrophobic nanoparticles (NPs). Inspired by Pluronic coating, a simple and convenient strategy to coat NPs with zwitterionic materials using zwitterionic Pluronic analogs was developed in this investigation.

Effective therapy of wounds is difficult, especially for chronic, non-healing wounds, and novel therapeutics are urgently needed. This challenge can be addressed with bioactive wound dressings providing a microenvironment and facilitating cell proliferation and migration, ideally incorporating actives, which initiate and/or progress effective healing upon release. In this context, electrospun scaffolds loaded with growth factors emerged as promising wound dressings due to their biocompatibility, similarity to the extracellular matrix, and potential for controlled drug release.

Here, core-shell hydrogel beads for oral insulin delivery at intestine was reported, which was a target site for insulin absorption. The core-shell hydrogel beads were prepared using naturally derived alginate and chitosan polysaccharides by simple dropping technique. In order to effectively control leakage of insulin from core-shell hydrogel beads, insulin was embedded into the layered double hydroxides (LDHs).

This work aims to construct biocompatible, biodegradable core-cross-linked and insulin-loaded nanoparticles which are sensitive to glucose and release insulin via cleavage of the nanoparticles in a high-concentration blood glucose environment. First, a polyphosphoester-based diblock copolymer (PBYP--Gluc)--PEEP was prepared via ring-opening copolymerization (ROP) and the copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) in which PBYP and PEEP represent the polymer segments from 2-(but-3-yn-1-yloxy)-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane and 2-ethoxy-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane, respectively, and Gluc comes from 2-azidoethyl-β-d-glucopyranoside (Gluc-N) that grafted with PBYP. The structure and molecular weight of the copolymer were characterized by H NMR, P NMR, GPC, FT-IR, and UV-vis measurements.
