Abstract
The resistance and biocompatibility of traditional antibiotics is a potential challenge for bacterial infections. Bacterial infections can produce oxidative stress, which can hamper cell migration and repair. In recent years, nanomaterials have become a viable alternative therapy for treating bacterial infections, with carbon dots (CDs) receiving popularity due to their superior characteristics. As a result, in this experiment, carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) were used as carbon sources, and multifunctional biomass green CDs with good biocompatibility, high antibacterial activity, potent antioxidant capacity, and the ability to promote cell migration and repair were synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method. The cytotoxicity assay findings demonstrated that CDs had high biocompatibility and promoted cell growth at the concentration of 100 μg mL−1. The results of the antibacterial experiment showed that CDs had a strong antibacterial effect upon Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. At the same time, CDs can eliminate ROS and protect cells from oxidative stress damage, which improves the cell's capacity to migrate and repair. The biomass green CDs provide a way to develop multifunctional carbon-based nanomaterials and provide a certain potential value for the promotion of wound healing and the clinical transformation of nanomaterials in the future.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Biomedical Materials Research – Part B: Applied Biomaterials is a highly interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journal serving the needs of biomaterials professionals who design, develop, produce and apply biomaterials and medical devices. It has the common focus of biomaterials applied to the human body and covers all disciplines where medical devices are used. Papers are published on biomaterials related to medical device development and manufacture, degradation in the body, nano- and biomimetic- biomaterials interactions, mechanics of biomaterials, implant retrieval and analysis, tissue-biomaterial surface interactions, wound healing, infection, drug delivery, standards and regulation of devices, animal and pre-clinical studies of biomaterials and medical devices, and tissue-biopolymer-material combination products. Manuscripts are published in one of six formats:
• original research reports
• short research and development reports
• scientific reviews
• current concepts articles
• special reports
• editorials
Journal of Biomedical Materials Research – Part B: Applied Biomaterials is an official journal of the Society for Biomaterials, Japanese Society for Biomaterials, the Australasian Society for Biomaterials, and the Korean Society for Biomaterials. Manuscripts from all countries are invited but must be in English. Authors are not required to be members of the affiliated Societies, but members of these societies are encouraged to submit their work to the journal for consideration.
