Hydrogels based on naturally derived polysaccharides and proteins for wound healing
Journal Title: Biomedical Transformation - Year 2023, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Wound healing is a common physiological process in which a series of molecular and cellular events occur after tissue lesions begin to rebuild the barrier between the body and the external environment. Hydrogels have significant advantages in wound treatment. They can control the wound healing process in time and space, and effectively promote the healing of damaged tissues in the hydration environment. The prominent characteristics of polysaccharides and proteins can be used as effective wound dressings for preparing bionic multifunctional hydrogels. Combining biological molecules and supporting cells, hydrogels can further perform faster and better healing functions. This review mainly discusses the effects of natural derived polysaccharide and protein hydrogel wound dressings on wound pathophysiology, and their ideal characteristics, cross-linking mechanism and manufacturing technology.
