Fabrication of biodegradable gelatin/chitosan/cinnamaldehyde crosslinked membranes for antibacterial wound dressing applications

TL;DR: In vitro and in vivo therapeutic outcomes of wound dressings loaded with curcumin are reviewed, showing excellent features such as good biocompatibility, induction of skin regeneration, accelerated wound healing processes and excellent antioxidant and antibacterial activity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the development of hybrid wound dressings from a combination of gelatin and other polymers with good biological, mechanical, and physicochemical features which are appropriate for ideal wound care is discussed.

TL;DR: An overview of biopolymers and synthetic polymer-based nanocomposites, which have promising applications in the biomedical research field, such as wound dressings, wound healing, tissue engineering, drug delivery, and medical implants, can be found in this article.

TL;DR: A multifunctional polyelectrolyte wound dressing membrane on the basis of chitosan and hyaluronan enhanced by phosphatidylcholine dihydroquercetin (PCDQ) has outstanding potential for wound healing and skin regeneration.

TL;DR: Chitin is the second most important natural polymer in the world as mentioned in this paper, and the main sources of chitin are two marine crustaceans, shrimp and crabs, which are used for food, cosmetics, biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.

TL;DR: The factors discussed include oxygenation, infection, age and sex hormones, stress, diabetes, obesity, medications, alcoholism, smoking, and nutrition, which may lead to therapeutics that improve wound healing and resolve impaired wounds.

TL;DR: Chitin is the second most important natural polymer in the world as mentioned in this paper, and the main sources of chitin are two marine crustaceans, shrimp and crabs, which are used for food, cosmetics, biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.

TL;DR: The requirement for formulations with improved properties for effective and accurate delivery of the required therapeutic agents and general formulation approaches towards achieving optimum physical properties and controlled delivery characteristics for an active wound healing dosage form are considered.
