Breakthrough Nanozyme-Hydrogel Solution for Treating Candida Infections
In a breakthrough study, researchers at the University of Adelaide have developed a nanozyme-hydrogel that could offer a solution to Candida albicans infections, a major cause of nosocomial infections. The nanozyme-hydrogel is a form of nanotechnology that combines enzymes, hydrogel and nanoparticles to form a powerful antimicrobial agent. The nanozyme-hydrogel is able to bind to Candida albicans and disrupt its cell membrane, leading to its death. This is a significant step forward in the fight against Candida albicans infections, as it could provide a safe and effective alternative to current treatments. In addition, the nanozyme-hydrogel has the potential to be used in other applications such as wound healing, drug delivery, and tissue engineering.
