Bioinspired Polyacrylic Acid-Based Dressing: Wet Adhesive, Self-Healing, and Multi-Biofunctional Coacervate Hydrogel Accelerates Wound Healing

Lingshuang Wang et al.

Summary: Polyacrylic acid (PAA) and its derivatives are commonly used as matrices in wound dressings, but their weak wet adhesion limits their clinical application. In this study, a PAA-based coacervate hydrogel with strong wet adhesion capability is created by mixing PAA copolymers with isoprenyl oxy poly(ethylene glycol) ether and tannic acid. The coacervate exhibits solid adhesion to both dry and wet substrates, with an adhesive strength to skin of 23.4 kPa and 70% adhesion underwater. It also possesses desirable self-healing and extensible properties, making it suitable for joints that undergo frequent movement. The coacervate demonstrates antibacterial activity, facilitates fibroblast migration, modulates macrophage polarization, shortens hemostatic time, and promotes collagen deposition, angiogenesis, and epithelialization, suggesting its promising potential as a wound dressing in medical translation.

CO enhances agomir transfection under pathological conditions to inhibit MMP overexpression

Xin Jin et al.

Summary: CO can reactivate uptake of agomir in pathological conditions via RAB5-mediated endocytic pathway, and a responsive nanoparticle-crosslinked injectable hydrogel (CO-Ago gel) was designed to co-deliver CO and Ago to inhibit MMP overexpression. Compared to a typical matrix-enhanced gene therapy (Ago gel), CO-Ago gel significantly improved the uptake of Ago, achieving a several-fold enhancement of targeted gene expression under pathological conditions. The therapeutic effect of CO-Ago gel on MMP overexpression was assessed in rat models of myocardial ischemia reperfusion and diabetic skin wound healing, suggesting its potential in gene-based therapies and vaccines in vivo.
