Abstract Wounds infected with multidrug‐resistant (MDR) bacteria are increasingly threatening public health and challenging clinical treatments because of intensive bacterial colonization, excessive inflammatory responses, superabundant oxidative stress. To overcome this malignant burden promote wound healing, a multifunctional cryogel (HA/TA2/KR2) composed hyaluronic acid (HA), tannic (TA), KR‐12 peptides is designed. The exhibited excellent shape‐memory properties, strong absorption...

Interstitial skin fluid (ISF) is an emerging alternative source of blood samples that has attracted great interest from researchers. It a very promising way to use microneedle patches for extracting ISF. However, the recovery ISF still faces challenges, such as long extraction time and low volume, which may affect analysis biomarkers. Traditional centrifugation methods cannot completely recover ISF, leads inaccuracy in detection. In this paper, prepared polyvinyl alcohol/polyvinylpyrrolidone...
