Nano-silver-decorated microfibrous eggshell membrane: processing, cytotoxicity assessment and optimization, antibacterial activity and wound healing

Abstract An ideal wound dressing can both promote wound healing and prevent bacterial infection. Here, we report a potential dressing prepared by incorporating an optimized concentration of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) into the microfibers of a natural eggshell membrane (EM) using environmentally fr...
