@iocbprague.bsky.socialA key challenge is to develop wound dressings that release antibacterials where they are needed.
#IOCBPrague, Pavol Jozef Šafárik, @tuliberec.bsky.social, Palacký University, @vschtpraha.bsky.social, @charlesuni.cuni.cz developed wound dressings loaded with antibacterial agent LEGO-LPPO 5.
@iocbprague.bsky.social🩹 Wound infection is one of the major obstacles to effective healing.
Conventional dressings often act mainly as passive barriers, while systemic antibiotics can bring side effects and contribute to resistance...
