“…Due to HMPB having peroxidase and superoxide dismutase mimetic catalytic activity and free radical scavenging capacity, 73,74 HMPB-Dox@Gel could reduce wound inflammation and increase collagen deposition in diabetic mice, and accelerate the wound healing rate compared to commercial wound dressings (Figure 4A). 75 Zhang et al fabricated a quaternized CS-CD-Ad/graphene oxide (QCS-CD-Ad/GO) supramolecular hydrogel, which had inherent and photo-thermal antibacterial properties, electrical conductivity, self-healing, and good biocompatibility, which accelerated the in vivo wound healing process of full-thickness wounds in mice as compared to commercial dressings (Tegader) and promoted epidermis and granulation tissue thickness, collagen formation, and upregulation of VEGF expression (Figure 4B). 76 However, compared to nonstimulus-responsive hydrogels, stimulus-responsive hydrogels are able to precisely control fundamental properties of materials such as expansion, porosity, physical structure, modulus, and drug release behavior through a series of triggering mechanisms, including In addition, loading bioactive molecules or hydrophobic drugs into hydrogels through hostâguest interactions can broaden the range of loading drugs, improve the loading efficiency and utilization rate, and maintain their biological activity to the maximum extent.…”
