In situ photocrosslinking ROS-adaptive caffeoyl chitosan/boronic acid-grafted gelatin hydrogels for treatment of combined radiation-burn injury

Key Points

• Improved healing observed in radiation-burn injury treatment using innovative hydrogels, which exhibit enhanced adaptability.
• The hydrogel formulation incorporates photocrosslinking to ensure structural integrity and functionality through controlled light exposure.
• Assessment showcases a significant increase in treatment efficiency compared to conventional methods without hydrogel integration.
• These findings highlight the need for further exploration of photoadaptive materials in urgent care settings, especially for complex injuries.
