EFFECT OF OXYGEN LOADED NANODROPLETS ON HUMAN ENDOTHELIAL CELLS AND MACROPHAGES CULTURED IN NORMOXIC VERSUS HYPOXIC CONDITIONS
Vol 32, Issue 4S1, 2018
Abstract
Chronic wounds are an emerging issue in Western countries, but their pathogenetic mechanismshave not been clarified, yet. Oxygen availability is crucial for tissue healing. Thus, hypoxia is detrimentalin chronic wounds and new oxygen-based therapies should be investigated. Here, oxygen-loadednanodroplets (OLND) with an oxygen-binding fluorocarbon (2H, 3H-decafluoropentane) in the innercore and dextran or chitosan in the outer shell are proposed as carriers of oxygen to the hypoxic milieu,to counteract the effects of hypoxia in wound healing.
