Abstract
. Furthermore, in a mouse wound infection model, the wound closure rate of the Se@PDA-ICG photoresponse group was 88.74% compared with 45.8% for the control group after 8 days of treatment, indicating that it could effectively kill bacteria and dramatically accelerate the wound healing process. These results suggested that Se@PDA-ICG could be a promising photo-activated antibacterial candidate material for biomedical applications.
