The surface structure and topography of biomaterials are crucial for cell behaviors and wound healing. Inspired by the skin structure and super-hydrophobicity of lotus leaf, an asymmetric composite dressing was developed. It effectively prevents bacterial colonization and infection, promotes cell adhesion and migration, reduces inflammation, and accelerates wound healing.
The surface structure and topography of biomate-rials play a crucial role in directing cell behaviors and fates. Meanwhile, asymmetric dressings that mimic the natural skin structure have been identified as an effective strategy for enhancing wound healing. Inspired by the skin structure and the super-hydrophobic structure of the lotus leaf, an asymmetric composite dressing was obtained by constructing an asymmetric structure and wettability surface modification on both sides of the sponge based on electrospinning. Among them, the collagen and quaternized chitosan sponge was fabricated by freeze-drying, followed by an aligned poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL)/gelatin nanofiber hydrophilic inner layer and hierarchical micronanostructure PCL/polystyrene microsphere highly hydrophobic outer layer constructed on each side of the sponge. The proposed asymmetric composite dressing combines topological morphology with the material's properties to effectively prevent bacterial colonization/infection and promote wound healing by directing cellular behavior. In vitro experimental results confirmed that the aligned nanofiber inner layer effectively promotes cell adhesion, proliferation, directed cell growth, and migration. Meanwhile, the sponge has good water absorption and antibacterial properties, while the biomimetic hydrophobic outer layer exhibits strong mechanical properties and resistance to bacterial adhesion. In vivo results showed that the composite dressing can reduce inflammatory response, prevent infection, accelerate angiogenesis and epithelial regeneration, and significantly accelerate the healing of severe burns. Thus, the proposed bionic asymmetric dressing is expected to be a promising candidate for severe burn wound healing.
