    TLDR The hydrogel helps heal skin injuries by promoting blood vessel and hair growth.
    The study developed an injectable tissue adhesive composite hydrogel using glycol chitosan and silica nanoparticles, which demonstrated properties of injectability, skin adhesion, and fibroblast encapsulation. This hydrogel was used as a wound dressing and was found to promote microvessel and hair follicle growth in skin defects, suggesting its potential effectiveness in treating skin injuries.
