The invention relates to compositions for use in the treatment or prevention of pathogenic infections, rosacea, eczema and psoriasis in humans or animals. The compositions of the invention are also useful in the healing of wounds in a human or animal, and for killing or inactivating viruses on a surface.

A method of treating, reducing or preventing bacterial infection in a wound, the method comprising: applying a film on the wound, the film including a biodegradable polymer with bacteriophages dispersed therein, wherein the polymer is a poly (ester amide urea).

Disclosed are methods of promoting wound healing in a patient in need thereof comprising administering to the patient a composition comprising a neonatal fibrin scaffold. Further disclosed are in vitro methods for evaluating a target composition on human wound healing comprising a neonatal porcine plasma scaffold with the target composition and evaluating scaffold properties of the plasma sample.

Provided herein are in vivo gelling ophthalmic pre-formulations forming a biocompatible retinal patch comprising at least one nucleophilic compound or monomer unit, at least one electrophilic compound or monomer unit, and optionally a therapeutic agent and/or viscosity enhancer. In some embodiments, the retinal patch at least partially adheres to the site of a retinal tear. Also provided herein are methods of treating retinal detachment by delivering an in vivo gelling ophthalmic pre-formulation to the site of a retinal tear in human eye, wherein the in vivo gelling ophthalmic pre-formulation forms a retinal patch.

Described herein are wound dressing comprising a silicone hydrogel composition and optionally an antimicrobial agent, and methods of making and use thereof. The silicone hydrogel compositions comprise an actinically-crosslinkable polysiloxane-polyglycerol block copolymer crosslinked with a crosslinker. The actinically-crosslinkable polysiloxane-polyglycerol block copolymer being derived from: a polysiloxane prepolymer comprising a polyglycerol side chain, the polyglycerol side chain comprising an ethylenically unsaturated group covalently linked thereto, wherein the ethylenically unsaturated group is actinically curable.

Provided is an antimicrobial composition comprised of at least one degradation product of oxidized cellulose (OC), such as oxidized regenerate cellulose (ORC), and minocycline, methods of preparation thereof and uses thereof.

The present disclosure provides a coacervate composition containing a protein drug, gelatin A, sodium alginate and an acid and a wound-healing agent including the same. The coacervate composition according to the present disclosure can be useful as a wound-healing material delivery system for effectively delivering a protein drug, particularly epidermal growth factor, to a wound site in the wound-healing field.

The present application relates to a medical hydrogel comprising nanofibrillar cellulose, wherein the hydrogel has a viscosity in the range of 2500-9000 Pa.Math.s and a water retention value in the range of 30-100 g/g. The present application also relates to a method for preparing the medical hydrogel The present application relates to the medical hydrogel for use for treating wounds.

The present invention relates to a wound covering with prominent biocompatible and accelerated wound-healing and its preparation method thereof. The wound covering comprises a film prepared from collagen and Dopa-containing protein—mussel adhesive protein, which is immobilized on collagen by chemical cross-linking, thus enhances the stability of protein structure and maintains the activity of collagen and mussel adhesive protein. The wound covering has excellent mechanical strength and can be trimmed into any shape; it accelerates tissue epithelisation and promotes wound healing with good biocompatibility, non-adhesive to the wound and no further wound damages.

Glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper protein (GILZ) peptide compositions and their methods of use in wound healing are disclosed herein. An exemplary GILZ peptide composition includes a GILZ fusion protein. The GILZ peptide compositions can be administered topically to wounds, for example in the form of a cream, ointment, or lotion. The GILZ peptide compositions can be used to treat acute wounds, induce wound healing in chronic wounds, and reduce scar formation.
