Exploring the therapeutic potential of recombinant human lysozyme: a review on wound management system with antibacterial

Lysozyme, a natural antibacterial enzyme protein, possesses the ability to dissolve the cell walls of Gram-positive bacteria, demonstrating broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. Despite its significant potential in treating wound infections and promoting wound healing, its widespread clinical application has yet to be realized. Current research is primarily focused on carrier-based delivery systems for lysozyme. In this review, we discuss four delivery systems that can be employed for lysozyme in wound healing treatment, specifically hydrogels, nanofilms, electrospun fibrous membranes, and modified-lysozyme composite systems. These systems not only enhance the stability of lysozyme but also enable its controlled and sustained release at wound sites, potentially overcoming some of the challenges associated with its direct application. Lastly, we delve into the perspectives and challenges related to the use of these delivery systems, hoping to spur further research and innovation in this promising field.

Essential Oils-Loaded Electrospun Biopolymers: A Future Perspective for Active Food Packaging

The growth of global food demand combined with the increased appeal to access different foods from every corner of the globe is forcing the food industry to look for alternative technologies to increase the shelf life. Essential oils (EOs) as naturally occurring functional ingredients have shown great prospects in active food packaging. EOs can inhibit the growth of superficial food pathogens, modify nutritious values without affecting the sensory qualities of food, and prolong the shelf life when used in food packaging as an active ingredient. Since 2016, various reports have demonstrated that combinations of electrospun fibers and encapsulated EOs could offer promising results when used as food packaging. Such electrospun platforms have encapsulated either pure EOs or their complexation with other antibacterial agents to prolong the shelf life of food products through sustained release of active ingredients. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the essential oil-loaded electrospun fibers that have been applied as active food packaging material.

Enhancement of the antimicrobial activity of cinnamon essential oil-loaded electrospun nanofilm by the incorporation of lysozyme

The antimicrobial activity of cinnamon essential oil-based electrospun nanofilm is enhanced by the combination of lysozyme.

In Vitro Drug Release Activity from Core/Shell Electrospun MATS of sPLA-cPEG/GS and sPLA/CA-cPEG/GS

In this research, the core-shell structured fiber was fabricated by coaxial electrospinning technique. A set of biodegradable polymers namely polylactic acid (PLA) and cellulose acetate (CA) were used as the shell material. Gentamicin sulfate (GS) as antimicrobial drug with polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used as the core structure. PEG formed the core section of the coreshell fibers for GS encapsulation.In-vitrodrug release activity of the core-shell fibers was determined by total immersion method in pH 7.4 phosphate buffer solutions (PBS). It was found that core-shell fibers sPLA-cPEG/GS exhibit higher initial release compared to that of core-shell fibers sPLA/CA-cPEG/GS.
