Tissue repair is often impaired in pathological states, highlighting the need for innovative wound-healing technologies. This study introduces composite hyaluronic acid gas-entrapping materials (GEMs) delivering carbon monoxide (CO) to promote wound healing in pigs. These composite materials facilitate burst release followed by sustained release of CO over 48 h. In a porcine full-thickness wound model, CO-GEMs significantly accelerated wound closure compared to the standard-of-care dressing (Tegaderm). Wound area closure with CO-GEMs was 68.6% vs 56.8% on day 14, 41.0% vs 25.1% on day 28, and 26.9% vs 11.8% on day 42, effectively reducing healing time by 14 days. Histological analysis revealed increased epithelialization and neovascularization with reduced inflammation. These findings demonstrate the potential of CO-GEMs as a topical therapeutic to enhance tissue repair in clinically relevant models, supporting further testing for wound-healing applications.

Protein crystallization is essential for determining the three-dimensional structures of biomacromolecules and advancing biopharmaceutical development, yet it remains a major challenge in structural biology due to common issues like slow nucleation rates and inconsistent crystal quality. Herein, a dual-drive crystallization (DDC) strategy, relying on a composite film of sodium alginate (SA) and hyaluronic acid (HA), is reported to synergistically regulate both protein adsorption and solution supersaturation. Driven by the electrostatic interactions of SA and the water absorption properties of HA, the SA/HA film achieves enhanced crystallization efficiency and controlled crystal quality mainly.

Traditional cancer therapies, such as chemotherapy, often lack specificity, resulting in severe toxic side effects and limited therapeutic efficacy. There is an urgent need to develop innovative multifunctional nanomedicine carriers that integrate precise diagnosis, targeted therapy, real-time monitoring, and the synergistic effects of multiple therapeutic approaches. In this study, a composite nanodrug delivery system (GO-HA-Ce6-GNRs) based on graphene oxide (GO) was innovatively prepared, which was functionalized with the targeting molecule hyaluronic acid (HA), the photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6), and the photothermal material gold nanorods (GNRs).

The abundance of hyaluronic acid (HA) in human tissues attracts its thorough research in tissue regenerating scaffolds and 3D bioprintable hydrogel preparation. Though methacrylation of HA can lead to photo-crosslinkable hydrogels, the catalyst has toxicity concerns, and the hydrogel is not suitable for creating stable complex 3D structures using extrusion 3D bioprinting. In this study, a dual crosslinking on methacrylated HA is introduced, using cysteamine-grafted HA and varying concentrations of 2-hydroxy ethyl acrylate.
