Collagen Hydrogels Loaded with Silver Nanoparticles and Cannabis Sativa Oil

Wounds represent a major healthcare problem especially in hospital-associated infections where multi-drug resistant strains are often involved. Nowadays, biomaterials with therapeutic molecules play an active role in wound healing and infection prevention. In this work, the development of collagen h...
