Abstract

The emodin loaded silk fibroin (SF) coated liposomes were developed for the treatment of chronic dermal wounds. Abnormal scars were characterized by persistent overproduction of collagen, cytokines and contracting fibroblasts leading to chronic wounds. High fluorescence intensity of emodin on HDF surface exposed to SF-ELP indicated that SF-ELP remained adherent to the HDF surface, while most of the ELP was removed after PBS rinse. It was observed that emodin could be slowly released near the targeted RTK receptor using the SF-ELP.
