MXene hydrogel based on oxidized alginate and carboxymethyl chitosan for synergistic photothermal-electrical therapy of diabetic wounds

Key Points

• The treatment significantly accelerated wound healing, showing a 40% improvement in closure within seven days.
• Evaluation of skin regeneration demonstrated enhanced cell proliferation and reduced inflammation in treated wounds.
• The approach used a unique mxene hydrogel formulation, combining oxidized alginate and carboxymethyl chitosan.
• This potentially paves the way for advanced treatments in chronic wound care, emphasizing the need for clinical trials.
