Drug-Loaded Chondroitin Sulfate Microspheres Generated from Microfluidic Electrospray for Wound Healing

Wound treatment is an important issue and poses a critical challenge for healthcare systems. It is of great significance to develop materials for wound repair and regeneration. Herein, we presented a kind of novel drug-loaded methacryloyl chondroitin sulfate (CSMA) microspheres for promoting the wound healing process. The CSMA droplets were generated from microfluidic electrospray and polymerized with ultraviolet light. With further freeze-drying and drug uploading, the drug-loaded CSMA microspheres were achieved. The prepared microspheres exhibited excellent biocompatibility, and the following animal experiments indicated they could promote wound healing significantly. This study opens the door to drug-loaded CSMA microspheres for wound healing applications.
