In vitro assessment of biopolymer-modified porous silicon microparticles for wound healing applications

The wound healing stands as very complex and dynamic process, aiming the re-establishment of the damaged tissue’s integrity and functionality. Thus, there is an emerging need for developing biopolymer-based composites capable of actively promoting cellular proliferation and reconstituting the extracellular matrix. The aims of the present work were to prepare and characterize biopolymer-functionalized porous silicon (PSi) microparticles,...
