Abstract
The treatment of complex wounds, particularly those arising from conditions such as diabetes or trauma, presents a significant clinical challenge. These wounds often necessitate long-term care for soft tissue and bone repair, creating an urgent need for multifunctional wound dressings. This study introduces a chitosan-silica hybrid dressing enhanced with bioactive glass (BG), specifically designed to address this need. The hybrid material achieves molecular bonding through coupling agents, with the organic chitosan component providing swelling and hemostatic effects, while the inorganic silica and BG release ions (Si4+, Ca2+), promoting tissue regeneration and bone healing. With a controlled degradation profile (lasting 3 to 6 months in-vitro), the dressing is ideal for chronic wound management. Experimental results demonstrate excellent biocompatibility, no inflammatory response, and strong hemostatic properties due to the positively charged chitosan and cations. Adding BG significantly enhances bone regeneration, positioning this chitosan-silica hybrid as a promising solution for the simultaneous repair of soft tissue and bone.
期刊介绍:
Biomaterials Advances, previously known as Materials Science and Engineering: C-Materials for Biological Applications (P-ISSN: 0928-4931, E-ISSN: 1873-0191). Includes topics at the interface of the biomedical sciences and materials engineering. These topics include:
• Bioinspired and biomimetic materials for medical applications
• Materials of biological origin for medical applications
• Materials for "active" medical applications
• Self-assembling and self-healing materials for medical applications
• "Smart" (i.e., stimulus-response) materials for medical applications
• Ceramic, metallic, polymeric, and composite materials for medical applications
• Materials for in vivo sensing
• Materials for in vivo imaging
• Materials for delivery of pharmacologic agents and vaccines
• Novel approaches for characterizing and modeling materials for medical applications
Manuscripts on biological topics without a materials science component, or manuscripts on materials science without biological applications, will not be considered for publication in Materials Science and Engineering C. New submissions are first assessed for language, scope and originality (plagiarism check) and can be desk rejected before review if they need English language improvements, are out of scope or present excessive duplication with published sources.
Biomaterials Advances sits within Elsevier''s biomaterials science portfolio alongside Biomaterials, Materials Today Bio and Biomaterials and Biosystems. As part of the broader Materials Today family, Biomaterials Advances offers authors rigorous peer review, rapid decisions, and high visibility. We look forward to receiving your submissions!
