Nanofibrous dressings incorporating a synergistic antibacterial-anti-inflammatory effect for infected wound healing by Wei Xu, Tingting Xu, Lei Yu, Xuchao Ning, Chunling Zhang, Bingcheng Yi, Wufei Dai, Zhihua Zhu, Haiguang Zhao

“…Using poly(L-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLCL) as the base biomaterial, sequential surface modification with TA and PLys enhanced wettability and introduced a positive surface charge, yielding a dressing with exceptional cytocompatibility and potent antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. In vitro studies revealed that the PLys-grafted, mussel-inspired nanofibers (PLys@TA@PLCL) modulated the wound microenvironment by suppressing fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation, mitigating pro-inflammatory responses, and accelerating extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition and remodeling. …”
