Hyaluronic acid (HA)-based hydrogels have been receiving increasing attention for wound management. However, pure HA hydrogels usually exhibit weak mechanical strength and poor anti-infection. Herein, a hybrid HA-based hydrogel (PDA-HA) comprised of polydopamine (PDA) and thiolated hyaluronic acid (HA-SH) is developed based on the Michael addition reaction. The introduction of PDA into HA hydrogel can decrease the critical gel concentration, improve the cell affinity and tissue adhesion, as well ...[more]
