An injectable and self-healing oxidized starch-gelatin composite hydrogel loaded with barium titanate for synergistic ultrasound-activated eradication of bacterial biofilms
Bacterial biofilms, particularly those associated with urinary catheters and neurogenic bladder, present a formidable challenge due to their tolerance to conventional antibiotics and the acidic microenvironment they create. Here, we developed an injectable, self healing, pH responsive composite hydrogel (BTO@DG) by i...
