Hydrogels are emerging as the most promising dressings due to their excellent biocompatibility, extracellular matrix mimicking structure, and drug loading ability. However, existing hydrogel exhibit limited breathability, poor environmental adaptability, potential resistance, options, which extremely restrict therapeutic effect working scenarios. Here, current research introduces first paradigm of textile based on novel gelatin glycerin (glyhydrogel) fibers fabricated by Hofmeister wet spinning. Benefiting from unique knitted dressing features breathability (1800 times that commercially available 3 M dressing) stretchability (535.51 ± 38.66%). Furthermore, glyhydrogel can also withstand extreme temperature -80 °C, showing for application in subzero environments. Moreover, introduction endows with remarkable antibacterial property expands selection loaded drugs (e.g., clindamycin). The prepared shows an infected wound healing a complete rat skin closure within 14 days. All these functions have not been achievable traditional provide new approach development dressings.

Our skin is the largest organ of body, serving as an important barrier against harsh extrinsic environment. Alongside preventing desiccation, chemical damage and hypothermia, this protects body from invading pathogens through a sophisticated innate immune response co-adapted consortium commensal microorganisms, collectively termed microbiota. These microorganisms inhabit distinct biogeographical regions dictated by physiology. Thus, it follows that perturbations to normal homeostasis, occurs with ageing, diabetes disease, can cause microbial dysbiosis increase infection risk. In review, we discuss emerging concepts in microbiome research, highlighting pertinent links between cutaneous repair. Moreover, address gaps current knowledge highlight key areas requiring further exploration. Future advances field could revolutionise way treat associated ageing other pathologies.

Human skin is home to a variety of commensal bacteria, including many species coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS). While it well established that the microbiota as whole maintains homeostasis and excludes pathogens (i.e., colonization resistance), relatively little known about unique contributions individual CoNS these interactions. Staphylococcus hominis second most frequently isolated from healthy skin, there emerging evidence suggest may play an important role in excluding pathogens, aureus , colonizing or infecting skin.

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a common pathogen that can cause many human diseases, such as skin infection, food poisoning, endocarditis, and sepsis. These diseases be minor infections or life-threatening, requiring complex medical management resulting in substantial healthcare costs. Meanwhile, the critically ignored “organ,” intestinal microbiome greatly impacts physiological health, not only gastrointestinal but also disorders beyond gut. However, correlation between S. infection microbial homeostasis largely unknown. Here, we summarized recent progress understanding their interactions with intestine. summarizations will help us understand mechanisms behind these crosstalk challenges are facing now, which could contribute to preventing infections, effective treatment investigation, vaccine development.
