Nitric Oxide Release from Antimicrobial Peptide Hydrogels for Wound Healing

Nitric Oxide Release from Antimicrobial Peptide Hydrogels for Wound Healing

Nitric oxide (NO) is an endogenously produced molecule that has been implicated in several wound healing mechanisms. Its topical delivery may improve healing in acute or chronic wounds. In this study an antimicrobial peptide was synthesized which self-assembled upon a pH shift, forming a hydrogel. T...
