The wounds caused by war, accidents, and diseases require timely and effective treatment. Polysaccharides, as natural macromolecules, have good biocompatibility and unique functions, and are excellent substrates for constructing new wound dressings. Short-chain chitosan (SCS) has good water solubility and, importantly, retains a large number of active amino groups. We first introduce double bonds to SCS. This chitosan derivative can be entangled with sodium alginate (SA) through electrostatic interaction. The flowing sol can be applied to a wound with an irregular shape. Under the initiation of a photoinitiator, the internal double bonds are broken and cross-linked to form a gel. The prepared hydrogel wound dressing exhibited good antibacterial properties and can provide a microenvironment conducive to wound repair. A polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) has been proven to have encouraging therapeutic effects for wound healing. PDRN can be condensed by branched polyethylenimine (PEI) to form a nucleic acid delivery system, which can be efficiently uptaken by cells. The cooperation of hydrogel and nucleic-acid-based therapy presented good results in a mouse full-thickness skin wound model.
