In diabetic ulcers, an increased secretion of human neutrophil elastase (HNE) and bacterial infections play crucial roles in hindering healing. Considering that, the present study proposed the development of multi-action polycaprolactone (PCL)/polyethylene glycol (PEG) electrospun fibers incorporati...
