This research aims to develop a biomimetic hydrogel that enhances adhesion to tissues and prevents infections in wound care.
Developed dopamine-modified ε-poly- l -lysine-polyethylene glycol hydrogel using horseradish peroxidase cross-linking.
Assessed the hydrogel's adhesion properties and anti-infection capabilities through in vivo experiments.
The PPD hydrogel achieved superior tissue adhesion, facilitating seamless integration with biological tissue.
Demonstrated effective in vivo hemostatic capabilities and accelerated wound repair processes.
Exhibited inherent antibacterial properties due to ε-poly- l -lysine, significantly reducing infection rates.
