Regenerated silk fibroin and alginate composite hydrogel dressings loaded with curcumin nanoparticles for bacterial-infected wound closure.

Abstract
It is important to treat a bacterial-infected wound with a hydrogel dressing due to its excellent biocompatibility and extracellular matrix mimicking structure. In this work, the antibacterial curcumin nanoparticles (Cur-NPs) loaded silk fibroin and sodium alginate (SF/SA) composite hydrogels have been developed as dressings for bacterial-infected wound closure. The as-prepared composite hydrogel dressings exhibited excellent biocompatibility and antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in vitro. In addition, the composite hydrogel dressings showed good tissue adhesive strength because of their high viscosity and abundance of amino groups distributed on SF, which can form multi-aldehyde polysaccharides with the tissue surface. The porous 3D structure of the composite hydrogel dressings facilitated the absorption of exudate from the wound site and promoted the fusion of cellular nutrients and metabolites. In the full-thickness skin defect model with and without bacterial infection, the Cur-NPs loaded SF/SA composite hydrogel dressings prominently improves the closure of bacterial-infected wounds by improving cell proliferation, anti-inflammatory properties, vascular remodeling, and collagen deposition.
