Abstract
studies involving topical administration of Fe-1GMP to Balb/c mice with skin infections further suggest the potential antibacterial efficacy of the hydrogel. Taken together, the hydrogel with its unique combination of mechanical tunability, ROS generation capability and antibacterial efficacy can be used for biomedical applications, particularly in wound healing and infection control.
