Metal-Doped Hydrogel Speeds Healing of Bacterial-Infected Diabetic Wounds

Updated

Abstract

significantly accelerated the healing of bacterial-infected diabetic wounds in a rat model.

  • PPNM exhibited multienzyme-like activities, including those similar to peroxidase and catalase.
  • PPNM-Gel demonstrated strong tissue adhesion, water absorption, biodegradability, and biocompatibility.
  • In vitro tests showed PPNM-Gel had significant antibacterial effects against E. coli and S. aureus.
  • In the diabetic rat model, PPNM-Gel promoted wound remodeling by reducing inflammation and enhancing collagen deposition.
