Excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and persistent inflammation caused by the impaired phenotype switch of macrophages from M1 to M2 during wound healing are the main culprits of non-healing diabetic wounds. Therefore, an injectable DMM/GelMA hydrogel as a promising wound dressing was designed to regulate the mitochondrial metabolism of macrophages via inhibiting succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity and to promote macrophage repolarization towards M2 type. DMM/GelMA hydrogel exhibited good biocompatibility, injectability and water absorption and retention capacity. In vitro studies showed that DMM/GelMA hydrogel inhibited SDH activity, recovered the decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential, and significantly reduced the production of ROS and inflammatory cytokines in the LPS-evoked macrophages. In vivo evaluations and RNA sequencing analysis demonstrated that DMM/GelMA hydrogel downregulated ROS generation, the ratio of M1/M2 macrophages and pro-inflammatory cytokine production in the full-thickness skin wound model in the diabetic mice. Additionally, DMM/GelMA hydrogel improved the wound-healing quality with thicker epidermis, more collagen deposition and higher ratio of collagen I/III by sustained release of DMM. These findings indicate this hydrogel has a great potential to be a biocompatible, injectable and anti-inflammatory dressing for better diabetic wound healing.</p>","PeriodicalId":279,"journal":{"name":"Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces","volume":"248 ","pages":"114488"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143027484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

LFA is a straightforward and effective paper-based platform for the rapid detection of target analytes in mixtures. Its simple design, low cost, and ease of operation are among the most attractive advantages of LFA. The signal reporting label, which constitutes the core component of LFA detection, is of paramount importance for enhancing the sensitivity of the detection process. The sensitivity of traditional LFA signal labels is insufficient for the detection of biomarkers at low concentrations. To address this issue, AIE materials have been developed in recent years. These materials can significantly enhance the luminescence intensity at high concentrations or in aggregated states, exhibiting excellent photostability and a high signal-to-noise ratio. They possess the advantages of high quantum yields, good photostability, and strong fluorescence, rendering them suitable for a variety of applications, including medical diagnostics, food safety, and environmental monitoring. This review therefore provides an overview of the operational principles of AIE and LFA, details the selection of AIE materials, the design of the platform and their applications, and reviews the latest research. Notable examples include the detection of viral pathogens, bacterial and mycotoxin contamination, antibiotic residues, and pesticide residues.
