Abstract (original English)

Hydrogels have been the material of choice for regenerative medicine applications due to their biocompatibility that can facilitate cellular attachment and proliferation. The present study aimed at constructing a porous hydrogel composite scaffold (chitosan, sodium alginate and elastin) for the repair of chronic skin wounds. Chitosan-based hydrogel incorporating varying concentrations of zinc oxide nanoparticles i.e. ZnO-NPs (0, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1 and 1 % w/w) as the antimicrobial agent tested against Escherichia coli (E.coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) exhibited good antibacterial activities. ZnO-NPs were characterized by UV visible spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Fabricated gels were characterized by SEM analysis, FTIR, XRD, swelling ratio, degradation behavior and controlled release kinetics of ZnO-NPs. In vitro cytocompatibility of the composite was investigated using human adipose stem cells (ADSCs) by MTT and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay, further assessed by SEM analysis and PKH26 staining. The SEM and XRD analysis confirmed the successful loading of ZnO-NPs into these scaffolds. Fluorescence PKH26 stained images and SEM analysis of ADSCs seeded scaffolds revealed biocompatible nature. The findings suggested that the developed composite gels have p
