In this study, thin films based on hyaluronic acid (HA) with tannic acid (TA) were investigated in three different weight ratios (80HA/20TA, 50HA/50TA, 20HA/80TA) for their application as materials for wound healing. Surface free energy, as well as their roughness, mechanical properties, water vapor permeability rate, and antioxidant activity were determined. Moreover, their compatibility with blood and osteoblast cells was investigated. The irritation effect caused by hyaluronic acid/tannic acid films was also considered with the use of are constructed human epidermis model. The irritation effect for hyaluronic acid/tannic acid films by the in vitro method was also studied. The low surface free energy, surface roughness, and antioxidant activity presented by the obtained films were examined. All the tested compositions of hyaluronic acid/tannic acid films were hemocompatible, but only films based on 50HA/50TA were fully cytocompatible. Regarding the potential implantation, all the films except 80HA/20TA showed appropriate mechanical properties. The specimens did not exert the irritation effect during the studies involving reconstructed human epidermis.

The development of injectable, dual-component formulations based on natural-based polysaccharides is a promising strategy for the localized treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In the present study, biomimetic formulations consisting of aldehyde-functionalized hyaluronic acid (AHA) and O-carboxymethyl chitosan (OCC) were developed, presenting rapid in situ gelation rates and finely tunable physicochemical properties. These two properties allowed for the controlled delivery of anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and pro-regenerative agents (i.

Melanoma treatment remains a challenge due to the inadequacy of existing clinical approaches and the difficulty of tissue regeneration. Recently, microneedles have been widely studied in tumor therapy and skin repair. Hence, a hyaluronic acid (HA)-based dual-functional hydrogel microneedle (MN) system was constructed to sequentially achieve tumor ablation and skin regeneration.

In addition to tumor cells, M2-like tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) also promote tumor progression. Accordingly, the strategy of targeted depletion or repolarization of M2-like TAMs becomes attractive. Here, we report a dual-targeting nanoagent SAMMH to tumor cells and M2-like TAMs for combinatorial tumor treatment.

Natural compound-based treatments provide innovative ways for ulcerative colitis therapy. However, poor targeting and rapid degradation curtail its application, which needs to be addressed. Inspired by biomacromolecule-based materials, we have developed an orally administrated nanoparticle (GBP@HA NPs) using bovine serum albumin as a carrier for polyphenol delivery.

The quest for scarless wound healing is imperative in healthcare, aiming to diminish the challenges of conventional wound treatment. Hyaluronic acid (HA), a key component of the skin's extracellular matrix, plays a pivotal role in wound healing and skin rejuvenation. Leveraging the advantages of HA hydrogels, this research focuses first on tuning the physicochemical and mechanical properties of photo-crosslinkable methacrylated HA (MAHA) by varying the methacrylation degree, polymer concentration, photo-crosslinker concentration, and UV exposure time.
