Key Highlights of the Research:
- Enhanced Healing Properties: The HBD-2-loaded COL-CS scaffold demonstrated significant antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and pro-angiogenic properties. In vitro and in vivo studies revealed accelerated healing and reduced inflammatory markers compared to conventional methods.
- Innovative Scaffold Design: Biodegradable and biocompatible scaffolds with optimized porosity and mechanical strength facilitated sustained drug release and improved cell proliferation.
- Anti-Microbial and Anti-Inflammatory Effects: The HBD-2 COL-CS scaffolds effectively reduced levels of harmful bacteria, such as S. aureus, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa, while promoting the production of beneficial growth factors for wound recovery.
