Nanofibrous Platforms for Advanced Wound Therapeutics: Mechanisms, Materials, and Clinical Horizons

Macromolecular Bioscience, Volume 26, Issue 5, May 2026.
The fabrication of nanofiber dressings from diverse natural and synthetic polymers offers a robust platform for chronic wound management. By encapsulating therapeutic drugs and bioactive agents, these dressings can simultaneously attenuate chronic inflammation and microbial infection while actively stimulating angiogenesis, addressing the primary ...

Synthesis of Telechelic‐Type Polypeptides Functionalized with Aromatic Units and the Characterization of Their Structures and Thermal Properties

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 10, 19 May 2026.
Polypeptide chains were extended from both ends of aromatic diamines by chemoenzymatic polymerization, resulting in the synthesis of telechelic polyglycines (TPG) and polyalanines (TPA). These telechelic polymers assembled into branched nanofibrils through π‐π stacking of aromatic rings, with the polymer backbones bent at the aromatic unit.

Comparative Evaluation of Mechanical, Biological, and Physicochemical Properties of Biodegradable Barrier Membranes Synthesized From Polyvinyl Alcohol and Biopolymer Mucilage

Nano Select, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.
The incorporation of functional additives like hydroxyapatite (HA) and GSK‐3 inhibitors onto PVA‐Chia seed mucilage improves the balance of physicochemical properties, mechanical performance, and cytocompatibility relative to PVA alone. The improved barrier has great potential as a cutting‐edge biomaterial for successful bone regeneration applications ...
