Himatanthus bracteatus-Composed In Situ Polymerizable Hydrogel for Wound Healing

Abstract: The Himatanthus genus presents anti-inflammatory, antioxidant activities, suggesting potential wound-healing properties. This study aimed to develop and analyze the wound-healing properties of a photopolymerizable gelatin-based hydrogel (GelMA) containing an ethanolic extract of Himatanthus bracteatus in a murine model. The extract was obtained under high pressure conditions, incorporated (2%) into the GelMA (GelMA-HB), and physically characterized. The anti-inflammatory activity of the extract was assessed us… Show more

“…Type III collagen forms thin fibers consisting of delicate fibrils, loosely arranged showing a weak greenish and yellow-green birefringence, whereas type I collagen forms fibers of variable thickness, arranged parallel or intertwined, with golden and reddish birefringence [ 72 ]. As observed in our study, the scarce deposition of type III collagen fibrils in the earliest stages of wound healing, which are further degraded and replaced by compact bundles (with less interfibrillar spaces) of type I collagen in the later stages, has already been reported in other studies [ 12 , 21 , 66 ]. This is because thin and delicate type III collagen fibrils are initially deposited in order to provide a three-dimensional scaffold that guides endothelial migration during the early stages of granulation tissue development.…”

“…The main advantages of the system used herein are as follows: (i) it encompasses the basic components of the healing process including angiogenesis, inflammation, fibroplasia, and epithelialization and differentiation and (ii) it is highly specific and standardized, while it is easily reproducible [ 30 ]. The very same system has already been successfully used in previous studies of wound healing in rodents [ 12 , 21 , 66 ]. The improvement of the histological grading of wound healing observed in all the groups whose skin wounds were filled with the gelatin-based biomaterials (GelMA, GPG, GGA, and GEA), in comparison to unfilled wounds (CTR), is possibly related to the bioconductive properties of the hydrogel, whose 3D-polymeric structure works as a scaffold for cell adhesion, proliferation, and migration, thus facilitating the earlier formation of granulation tissue and further reconstitution of the dermal lost tissue [ 9 12 ].…”

“…Here, we report a dual-crosslinked hydrogel comprising photocrosslinkable gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) and CS-SH for wound dressing. Recent advances indicate that GelMA-based hydrogels are a suitable platform for developing wound dressing biomaterials [20][21][22]. In this study, GelMA and CS-SH were crosslinked through both light-induced polymerization and the Thiol-ene reaction.…”
