      The increased prevalence of chronic wounds requires novel treatment options. The aim of this study was to develop a beta-glucan (βG)-loaded nanofiber wound dressing. Nanofibers were prepared using the needle-free Nanospider™ technology, an electrospinning method which enables the production of nanofibers at an industrial scale. The βG was selected as active ingredient based on its confirmed wound ...
