In-Situ Electrospinning Dressings Loaded with Kaempferol for Reducing MMP9 to Promote Diabetic Ulcer Healing by Li J, Meng H, Guo W, Zhou L, Wu S, Gao G, Liu Q, You D, Qu W

“…Histological and immunofluorescence staining were performed to determine the status of epithelization, collagen deposition, MMP9 expression, macrophage polarization, inflammation response and angiogenesis.Results: Material science experiments have shown that the dressing has optimal fiber micromorphology and good water vapor transport properties (WVTR: 4.88 kg m− 2 24h− 1); in vivo, diabetic wound experiments have shown that the high porosity and pharmacological effects of PED4 can mutually promote the rapid healing of diabetic wounds (healed 95.9% on day 15), facilitate the transformation of macrophages from M1-type to M2-type and regulate the expression of MMP9.Conclusion: Portable electrospinning dressings equipped with kaempferol not only better fit irregular wounds, but also promote wound healing through MMP9 and macrophage polarization. …”
