Demonstrates improved wound healing in infected skin using peptide-coated sutures, suggesting a new tool for preventing infections.
. Additionally, this demonstrated favorable cytocompatibility. In infected skin wounds, the suture promoted healing by reducing inflammatory infiltration, stimulating collagen regeneration, and downregulating TNF-α expression. This mechanically strong, biocompatible, and persistently antibacterial suture offers a promising strategy for the prevention of SSIs.
