Antibacterial Sericin Cryogels Promote Hemostasis by Facilitating the Activation of Coagulation Pathway and Platelets (Adv. Healthcare Mater. 11/2022)

Cryogels In article number 2102717 by Zheng Wang, Lin Wang, and co‐workers, a bifunctional hemostatic antibacterial dressing sericin‐methacryloyl/Ag cryogel (SMC@Ag) is developed by freeze polymerization of methacryloyl modified sericin and in‐situ sericin reduction of silver ions. It can promote the activation of the contact coagulation pathway and enhance the adhesion of platelets during the coagulation process, resulting in the outstanding hemostasis performance.
