Antibacterial, antioxidant and injectable hydrogels constructed using CuS and curcumin co-loaded micelles for NIR-enhanced infected wound healing

Abstract

Constructing antibacterial and antioxidant hydrogels is critical for treating infected full-thickness skin wounds. Herein, we report a co-encapsulation strategy to load CuS nanoparticles and hydrophobic antioxidant curcumin (cur) in aldehyde-terminated...
