Influence of secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) basedeptides on elastase activity and their incorporation into hyaluronic acid hydrogels for chronic wound terapy

Chronic nonhealing skin wounds, such as leg ulcers and pressure sores, represent a major clinical problem and a financial burden for the health care systems. Chronic wounds are characterized by prolonged inflammatory phase that results in high levels of elastase, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and d...
