The skin is the largest organ and a crucial barrier for protection against various intrinsic and extrinsic factors. As we age, the skin's components become more vulnerable to damage, forming wrinkles. Among different procedures, hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel has been extensively utilized for skin regeneration and reducing wrinkles. However, it has limitations like low retention and weak mechanical properties. In this study, we suggested the poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) microparticles containing alkaline magnesium hydroxide and nitric oxide-generating zinc oxide and rejuvenative hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels including these functional microparticles and asiaticoside, creating a novel delivery system for skin rejuvenation and regeneration. The fabricated rejuvenative hydrogels have exhibited enhanced biocompatibility, pH neutralization, reactive oxygen species scavenging, collagen biosynthesis, and angiogenesis capabilities and . Additionally, an excellent volume retention ability was demonstrated due to the numerous hydrogen bonds that formed between hyaluronic acid and asiaticoside. Overall, our advanced injectable hydrogel containing functional microparticles, with controlled release of bioactive molecules, has a significant potential for enhancing the regeneration and rejuvenation of the skin.
皮肤是人体最大的器官,也是抵御各种内在和外在因素的关键屏障。随着年龄的增长,皮肤的组成部分更容易受到损伤,从而形成皱纹。在各种治疗方法中,基于透明质酸的水凝胶已被广泛用于皮肤再生和减少皱纹。然而,它存在诸如保留率低和机械性能弱等局限性。在本研究中,我们提出了含有碱性氢氧化镁和产生一氧化氮的氧化锌的聚(L-乳酸)(PLLA)微粒,以及包含这些功能性微粒和积雪草苷的具有嫩肤作用的透明质酸(HA)水凝胶,从而创建了一种用于皮肤嫩肤和再生的新型递送系统。所制备的具有嫩肤作用的水凝胶表现出增强的生物相容性、pH中和、活性氧清除、胶原蛋白生物合成和血管生成能力。此外,由于透明质酸和积雪草苷之间形成了大量氢键,因此显示出优异的体积保留能力。总体而言,我们的含有功能性微粒的先进可注射水凝胶,能够控制生物活性分子的释放,在增强皮肤再生和嫩肤方面具有巨大潜力。
