Abstract
Skin wound healing is a complex physiological process that involves various cell types, growth factors, cytokines, and other bioactive compounds. In this study, a novel dual-function multilayered nanofibrous membrane is developed for chronic wound application. The membrane is composed of five alternating layers of polycaprolactone (PCL) and poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanofibers (PCL-PVA) with a dual function: the PCL nanofibrous layers allow cell adhesion and growth, and the PVA layers enriched with incorporated platelet lysate (PCL-PVA + PL) serve as a drug delivery system for continuous release of bioactive compounds from PL into an aqueous environment. The material is produced using a needleless multi-jet electrospinning approach which can lead to homogeneous large-scale production. The bioactive PCL-PVA + PL membranes are cytocompatible and hemocompatible. A spatially compartmented co-culture of three cell types involved in wound healing - keratinocytes, fibroblasts and endothelial cells - is used for cytocompatibility studies. PCL-PVA + PL membranes enhance the proliferation of all cell types and increase the migration of both fibroblasts and endothelial cells. The membranes are also hemocompatible without any deleterious effect for thrombogenicity, hemolysis and coagulation. Thus, the beneficial effect of the PCL-PVA + PL membrane is demonstrated in vitro, making it a promising scaffold for the treatment of chronic wounds.

Abstract
Self-assembled fibrinogen scaffolds are highly attractive biomaterials to mimic native blood clots. To explore their potential for wound healing, we studied the interaction of cocultures of human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) and HaCaT keratinocytes with nanofibrous, planar, and physisorbed fibrinogen. Cell viability analysis indicated that the growth of HDFs and HaCaTs was supported by all fibrinogen topographies until 14 days, either in mono- or coculture. Using scanning electron microscopy and cytoskeletal staining, we observed that the native morphology of both cell types was preserved on all topographies. Expression of the marker proteins vimentin and cytokeratin-14 showed that the native phenotype of fibroblasts and undifferentiated keratinocytes, respectively, was maintained. HDFs displayed their characteristic wound healing phenotype, characterized by expression of fibronectin. Finally, to mimic the multilayered microenvironment of skin, we established successive cocultures of both cells, for which we found consistently high metabolic activities. SEM analysis revealed that HaCaTs arranged into a confluent top layer after 14 days, while fluorescent labeling confirmed the presence of both cells in the layered structure after 6 days. In conclusion, all fibrinogen topographies successfully supported the cocultivation of fibroblasts and keratinocytes, with fibrinogen nanofibers being particularly attractive for skin regeneration due to their biomimetic porous architecture and the technical possibility to be detached from an underlying substrate.

Abstract
Introduction The formation of diabetic ulcers (DU) is a common complication for diabetic patients resulting in serious chronic wounds. There is therefore, an urgent need for complex treatment of this problem. This study examines a bioactive wound dressing of a biodegradable electrospun nanofibrous blend of poly(L-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PLCL/PCL) covered by a thin fibrin layer for sustained delivery of bioactive molecules. Methods Electrospun PLCL/PCL nanofibers were coated with fibrin-based coating prepared by a controlled technique and enriched with human platelet lysate (hPL), fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The coating was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and fluorescent microscopy. Protein content and its release rate and the effect on human saphenous vein endothelial cells (HSVEC) were evaluated. Results The highest protein amount is achieved by the coating of PLCL/PCL with a fibrin mesh containing 20% v/v hPL (NF20). The fibrin coating serves as an excellent scaffold to accumulate bioactive molecules from hPL such as PDGF-BB, fibronectin (Fn), and α-2 antiplasmin. The NF20 coating shows both fast and a sustained release of the attached bioactive molecules (Fn, VEGF, FGF). The dressing significantly increases the viability of human saphenous vein endothelial cells (HSVECs) cultivated on a collagen-based wound model. The exogenous addition of FGF and VEGF during the coating procedure further increases the HSVECs viability. In addition, the presence of α-2 antiplasmin significantly stabilizes the fibrin mesh and prevents its cleavage by plasmin. Discussion The NF20 coating supplemented with FGF and VEGF provides a promising wound dressing for the complex treatment of DU. The incorporation of various bioactive molecules from hPL and growth factors has great potential to support the healing processes by providing appropriate stimuli in the chronic wound.

Abstract
This article presents current possibilities of using polyester-based materials in hard and soft tissue engineering, wound dressings, surgical implants, vascular reconstructive surgery, ophthalmology, and other medical applications. The review summarizes the recent literature on the key features of processing methods and potential suitable combinations of polyester-based materials with improved physicochemical and biological properties that meet the specific requirements for selected medical fields. The polyester materials used in multiresistant infection prevention, including during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as aspects covering environmental concerns, current risks and limitations, and potential future directions are also addressed. Depending on the different features of polyester types, as well as their specific medical applications, it can be generally estimated that 25–50% polyesters are used in the medical field, while an increase of at least 20% has been achieved since the COVID-19 pandemic started. The remaining percentage is provided by other types of natural or synthetic polymers; i.e., 25% polyolefins in personal protection equipment (PPE).

Abstract
Platelet lysate (PL) provides a natural source of growth factors and other bioactive molecules, and the local controlled release of these bioactive PL components is capable of improving the healing of chronic wounds. Therefore, we prepared composite nanofibrous meshes via the needleless electrospinning technique using poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with a high molecular weight and with a high degree of hydrolysis with the incorporated PL (10% w/w). The morphology, wettability and protein release from the nanofibers was then assessed from the resulting composite PVA–PL nanomats. The bioactivity of the PVA–PL nanomats was proved in vitro using HaCaT keratinocytes, human saphenous endothelial cells (HSVECs) and 3T3 fibroblasts. The PVA–PL supported cell adhesion, proliferation, and viability. The improved phenotypic maturation of the HaCaT cells due to the PVA–PL was manifested via the formation of intermediate filaments positive for cytokeratin 10. The PVA–PL enhanced both the synthesis of the von Willebrand factor via HSVECs and HSVECs chemotaxis through membranes with 8 µm-sized pores. These results indicated the favorable effects of the PVA–PL nanomats on the three cell types involved in the wound healing process, and established PVA–PL nanomats as a promising candidate for further evaluation with respect to in vivo experiments.
