Yeast cell templated porous hollow silica spheres for rapid hemostasis accompanied by antibacterial action

Biomater Sci. 2023 May 2;11(9):3104-3113. doi: 10.1039/d2bm01619b.

Abstract

Uncontrolled haemorrhage is the leading cause in nearly 91% of pre-hospital deaths, which were considered potentially survivable. In particular, severe trauma is susceptible to infection, which further affects the natural healing process and can even lead to life-threatening sepsis. Therefore, we established Ag@HMSN nanocomposites based on a yeast cell template that combines hemostasis with antibiosis and further studied the effects of different calcination temperatures on the hemostatic and antibacterial properties. From the experimental results, Ag@HMSNs/500 shows excellent bactericidal effect on a mouse skin infection model and outstanding hemostatic effect on a mouse liver injury model, which could be used as the next-generation hemostatic and antibacterial material.
