Bioinspired self-degradable hydrogels towards wound sealing

Abstract

Inspired by the autolysis of shaggy mane, we developed a self-degradable hydrogel as a medical adhesive for skin wounds. The rapid gelation and self-degradation of the hydrogel were achieved via the Michael addition and subsequent hydrolysis of the addition product. In vivo experiments further showed that the hydrogel adhesive was efficiently applied for skin wound repair.
