Although several novel interventions were explored for wound healing, treating non-healing and chronic wounds is challenging in clinical management. In an article recently published in the journal ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, researchers loaded RL-QN15 pro healing peptide into hollow silica nanoparticles, followed by their integration with zinc alginate (ZA) gels to form HSN@RL-QN15/ZA hydrogel … The researchers observed that the fabricated hydrogels were biocompatible, hemocompatible, porous, and exhibited antimicrobial activity against broad-spectrum microorganisms. The hydrogels showed release of bioactive RL-QN15, which was advantageous to accelerating the healing process … read more
