    Abstract:
    Multi-layered wound dressings can closely mimic the hierarchical structure of the skin. Herein, a double-layer dressing material is fabricated through electrospinning, comprised of a nanofibrous structure as a healing-support layer or the bottom layer (BL) containing pectin (Pec), soy protein isolate (SPI), pomegranate peel extract (P), and a cellulose (Cel) microfiber layer as a protective/monitoring layer or top layer (TL). The formation of a fine bilayer structure was confirmed using scanning electron microscopy. Cel/Pec-SPI-P dressing showed a 60.05 % weight loss during 7 days of immersion in phosphate buffered solution. The ultimate tensile strength, elastic modulus, and elongation at break for different dressings were within the range of 3.14-3.57 MPa, 32.26-36.58 MPa, and 59.04-63.19 %, respectively. The release of SPI and phenolic compounds from dressings were measured and their antibacterial activity was evaluated. The fabricated dressing was non-cytotoxic following exposure to human keratinocyte cells. The Cel/Pec-SPI-P dressing exhibited excellent cell adhesion and migration as well as angiogenesis. More importantly, in vivo experiments on Cel/Pec-SPI-P dressings showed faster epidermal layer formation, blood vessel generation, collagen deposition, and a faster wound healing rate. Overall, it is anticipated that the Cel/Pec-SPI-P bilayer dressing facilitates wound treatment and can be a promising approach for clinical use.
