Encapsulation of SAAP-148 in Octenyl Succinic Anhydride-Modified Hyaluronic Acid Nanogels for Treatment of Skin Wound Infections

Miriam E. E. van Gent et al.

Summary: Synthetic antibacterial and antibiofilm peptide (SAAP)-148 is an alternative treatment for chronic wound infections, but its therapeutic potential is limited due to its peptidic nature and cytotoxicity. Encapsulation of SAAP-148 in nanogels composed of OSA-modified HA overcomes these limitations. The formulated SAAP-148-loaded nanogels sustainably release the peptide and exhibit antimicrobial activity without cytotoxicity.

The Degradation of Hyaluronan in the Skin

Petra Zadnikova et al.

Summary: This study characterizes the distribution and activity of hyaluronidases and other proteins involved in the degradation of hyaluronan (HA) in healthy human skin. It also identifies a novel hyaluronidase TMEM2 and a protein CEMIP involved in HA degradation, which were localized in the human epidermis and dermis.

Hyaluronic Acid-Based Nanomaterials as a New Approach to the Treatment and Prevention of Bacterial Infections

Reza Alipoor et al.

Summary: Bacterial contamination of medical devices is a significant concern for public health and hospital-acquired infections. Hyaluronic acid (HA) has bactericidal effects and nanotechnology has been used to improve its clinical utility. Combining HA with other bactericidal molecules can enhance the antibacterial effects and improve the management of hard-to-heal wound infections.

SAAP-148 Eradicates MRSA Persisters Within Mature Biofilm Models Simulating Prosthetic Joint Infection

Henk Scheper et al.

Summary: Prosthetic joint infection is a severe complication of arthroplasty, often caused by biofilm formation. Current treatment strategies are often ineffective, prompting the need for innovative anti-biofilm and anti-persister agents. A study developed an in vitro model for PJI using various surfaces exposed to antibiotics, with SAAP-148 showing high effectiveness against persister bacteria.

Redox-Responsive Hyaluronic Acid-Based Nanogels for the Topical Delivery of the Visual Chromophore to Retinal Photoreceptors

Amine M. Laradji et al.

Summary: The study synthesized hyaluronic acid-based nanogels for triggered release and delivery of therapeutics to the posterior segment of the eye via topical application. The nanogels released drugs in a reducing environment and efficiently delivered a model drug to the mouse retina's photoreceptors, resulting in a partial recovery of photoreceptor function.

Current Advances in Lipid and Polymeric Antimicrobial Peptide Delivery Systems and Coatings for the Prevention and Treatment of Bacterial Infections

Miriam E. van Gent et al.

Summary: The review critically evaluates the potential of lipid and polymeric AMP delivery systems and coatings in enhancing the efficacy of AMPs, reducing limitations, and prolonging half-life. However, most studies have only evaluated the antibacterial activities in vitro against planktonic bacteria, with limited research on antibiofilm activities and antibacterial effects in animal models. Further improvements in functionalization and testing in biologically relevant environments are suggested for better targeting infections.
