Alginate-based electrospun core/shell nanofibers containing dexpanthenol: A good candidate for wound dressing
TLDR
In this paper, the authors investigated the biocompatibility and swelling tendency of nanofibers increased by adding alginates to a polymer solution, and the results showed that the presence of chitosan 1% (w/v) in the shell side of nanometrics helped better control the drug release.About:
