Transforming <i>Spirulina maxima</i> Biomass into Ultrathin Bioactive Coatings Using an Atmospheric Plasma Jet: A New Approach to Healing of Infected Wounds (Small 39/2024)
Infected Wound Healing In article number 2305469, Krasimir Vasilev, Vi Khanh Truong, and co-workers report a novel and sustainable argon atmospheric plasma jet technology that transforms S. maxima biomass into bioactive coatings. This approach overcomes the current complexities of extracting useful compounds from biomass. The resultant coatings have highly useful antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties, and are an excellent candidate for placement on wound dressing and other medical devices.
