A Polysaccharide-Based Iron-Curcumin Carbon Dot Hydrogel Dressing with Photothermal and Nanozyme Catalysis for Infected Wound Healing

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a polysaccharide-based hydrogel in promoting wound healing in diabetic models.
• Utilized a diabetic mouse wound model to assess hydrogel performance.
• Monitored wound closure and bacterial infection levels after hydrogel application.
• Examined the effects of photothermal and nanozyme catalytic properties of the hydrogel.
• Significantly promoted wound closure in diabetic mice with a reduction in healing time.
• Reduced bacterial infection rates associated with the wound site post-treatment.
• Highlighted the hydrogel's potential as a comprehensive therapeutic platform for diabetic wound management.
