Synergistic effects of hyaluronate – epidermal growth factor conjugate patch on chronic wound healing

Abstract: The proteolytic microenvironment in the wound area reduces the stability and the half-life of growth factors in vivo, making difficult the topical delivery of growth factors. Here, epidermal growth factor (EGF) was conjugated to hyaluronate (HA) to improve the long-term stability against enzymatic degradation and the therapeutic effect by enhancing the biological interaction with HA receptors on skin cells. After the synthesis of HA-EGF conjugates, they were incorporated into a patch-type formulation for the f… Show more

“…Exogenous EGF is easily degraded in a chronic wound environment, which limits its application in the process of chronic wound healing [24]. Kim et al [42] found that a hyaluronate-EGF conjugate patch plays an important role in chronic wound healing. Meanwhile, the application of new nano-biomaterials has greatly promoted the development in the field of wound healing [43].…”
