This project aims to develop innovative wound dressings using plant-derived polyesters that possess antimicrobial properties and promote skin regeneration. The research focuses on creating biocompatible materials that mimic natural barriers to combat infections in chronic wounds.
Fighting microbial infection of wounds, especially in immunocompromised patients, is a major challenge in the 21st century.
The skin barrier is the primary defence against microbial (opportunistic) pathogens.
When this barrier is breached even non-pathogenic fungi may cause devastating infections, most of which provoked by crossover fungi able to infect both plant and humans.
Hence, diabetic patients (ca. 6.4% of the world population), who are prone to develop chronic non-healing wounds, constit…
