Photothermal-Responsive Polyvinyl Alcohol/Gelatin/Graphene Oxide Hydrogels Loaded with Quercetin for NIR-Triggered Controlled Drug Delivery
adhesion and invasion indicates the sample's potential to mitigate bacterial infections. The PVA:Gel:GO/Q formulations exhibited high biocompatibility in Human Dermal Fibroblasts (HDF), demonstrating that Q improves the safety of PVA:Gel:GO-loaded hydrogels. These results offer promising potential for PVA:Gel:GO/Q hydrogels as advanced materials for photothermal-triggered drug delivery and antimicrobial applications.
