Design and Production of Biofunctional PVA/PLA Double‐Layered Fiber Wound Dressing by Electrospinning Method

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, a double‐layered wound dressing combined with biofunctional components was produced, and characterization studies were conducted. To produce fiber wound dressing, polylactic acid (PLA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) were used in the layers, and the electrospinning method was preferred.

Development of a Novel Double‐Layered Wound Dressing Composed of Chitosan Film and Tigecycline‐Loaded Electrospun Polycaprolactone Nanofibers

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
The antibacterial double‐layered wound dressing is fabricated using chitosan (CH) film as the contact layer and tigecycline (Tig)‐loaded poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) nanofibers as the top layer. The CH film has a uniform morphology, and the PCL‐Tig nanofibers show a smooth, randomly oriented, and beadless structure.

Preparation, Characterization, and Antimicrobial Activities of Ceragenins Incorporated Into Polyvinyl Alcohol/Gelatin/Sodium Alginate‐Based Hydrogels for Treatment of Burn Wounds

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ceragenins are synthetic molecules that mimic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in the human immune system. They feature a bile acid‐based structure with appended positively charged groups that disrupt bacterial cell membranes, leading to microbial cell death or inactivation.

Recent Advances in PBAT (Nano) Composite Materials for Food Packaging: A Comprehensive Review

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) is the most commonly used plastic. PBAT‐based (nano) composites provide a lot of potential as food wrapping. The preparation of plastics based on PBAT composites is described. PBAT materials' distinctive properties lead to suitability for application in food packaging.

Noncoding RNAs in Host–Microbiota Interaction

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The intricate interplay between gut microbiota and the host exerts a profound impact on host biological processes and disease development. This review highlights the pivotal role of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) in this interaction. Host ncRNAs regulate gene expression and microbiota composition, whereas microbial small RNAs (sRNAs) modulate host gene ...

Topical Mupirocin Treatment Reduces Interferon and Myeloid Signatures in Cutaneous Lupus Erythematous Lesions Through Targeting of Staphylococcus Species

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is an inflammatory skin manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus. Type I interferons (IFNs) promote inflammatory responses and are elevated in CLE lesions. We recently reported that CLE lesions are frequently colonized with Staphylococcus aureus.
