Fabrication and desired properties of conductive hydrogel dressings for wound healing

“…In the study, an indirect ligand exchange was employed between the cytotoxic surfactant for nontoxic citrate to fabricate nontoxic citrate-GNRs. 72 The study was able to demonstrate that the gold-based conductive hydrogel could support the proliferation of seeded rat neural stem cells in vitro, via promoting cell adhesion and viability and thus provided a platform for the synergistic integration of gold for the conductive hydrogel preparation and use as wound dressing for improved surgical recovery. 72 Similarly, in another study by ref.…”

“…For instance, in the study undertaken by ref. 72, a conductive hydrogel composed of hyaluronic acid/gelatin/gold was prepared to promote surgical translation and bioprinting. This hydrogel was prepared via the combination of citrate–gold nanorods (GNRs) characterized with high aspect ratio, with hyaluronic acid and gelatin hydrogel.…”
