We propose a unique, wearable patch made from a 3D organo-hydrogel nanocomposite containing polydopamine, titanium dioxide nanoparticles, and silver quantum dots (PDA–TiO<sub>2</sub>@Ag). The designed patch exhibits ultra-stretchable, exceptional-self-healing, self-adhesive, ensuring conformal contact with the skin even during movement. Our patch demonstrated potent antibacterial activity and significantly accelerated wound healing with a high wound closure rate of 99.2 % after 7 days. Remarkably, it enhanced diabetic skin wound healing compared to that achieved by adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC) therapy in a study involving 30 adult male albino rats. Microscopic analysis highlights the promising hierarchical architecture structure of the patch for wound healing applications, suggesting its potential to create a favorable environment for healing and provide long-lasting benefits. Histopathological analysis and immunohistochemical staining revealed faster healing and enhanced cellular response in the patch-treated group compared to both stem cell and control groups. Notably, the patch promoted complete re-epithelization and a significant increase in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression on day 7, indicating improved angiogenesis. This self-healing, multifunctional patch offers a promising alternative to stem cell therapy for accelerating diabetic wound healing, showcasing its potential for clinical translation. The combination of durability, biocompatibility, and antibacterial properties makes the patch a promising candidate for advanced wound management and offering faster, more complete restoration than other approaches.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17392,"journal":{"name":"Journal of tissue viability","volume":"34 1","pages":"Article 100850"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142895952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
