Mechanism of CH/COS-based hydrogels to promote wound healing. CH provides a non-protein matrix for three-dimensional tissue growth and activates macrophages for tumoricidal activity. Moreover, CH/COS stimulate cell proliferation and histoarchitectural tissue organization. In addition, CH is a hemostat that helps in natural blood clotting and blocks nerve endings, reducing pain.
