Thus, the development of an approach combining different therapies in just one formulation to treat DFUs remains very challenging. Silver-plated polyamide fibers offer antimicrobial properties, while lyocell provides biodegradability, biocompatibility and moisture management abilit...
Layer-by-layer electrospun PCL/PVA mats loaded with nisin Z for enhanced diabet...
Tavares, Tânia; Pinho, Sonia L. C.; Delgado-Pujol, Ernesto J.; Begines, Belén; Alcudia, Ana; Silva, C.; Antunes, Joana C.; Felgueiras, Helena PradoDiabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) represent a significant clinical challenge due to impaired healing and high susceptibility to infections, underscoring the urgent need for multifunctional wound dressings. This study explores the potential of multilayered electrospun mats composed of polycaprolactone (PCL) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) engineered by a layer-by-layer (LbL) electrospun-based deposition, and functionali...
