This study aimed to evaluate the wound-healing potential of a sericin-based self-healing and stretchable hydrogel loaded with Psidium guajava L. extract against full-thickness burn wounds in mice. The hydrogel was characterized by physicochemical analyses including scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, viscosity, pH, swelling degree, weight loss, and mechanical strength. In vivo experiments used a Swiss albino mouse burn model, where 6\u00a0mm full-thickness wounds were induced with a hot metal rod. Hydrogels were applied topically at regular intervals, and wound healing was assessed through wound contraction measurements, healing time, and histological analysis. Hematological parameters and serum biomarkers, ie, pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), antioxidants (glutathione [GSH], glutathione peroxidase [GPx], catalase [CAT], and superoxide dismutase [SOD]), angiogenic factors (vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF]), and oxidative stress markers (malondialdehyde [MDA]) were also evaluated. Results demonstrated that the hydrogels exhibited high swelling capacity and notable weight loss, suggesting effective absorption of wound exudates and reduced infection risk. Notably, hydrogel 4 (3% sericin +3% P guajava L.) achieved significantly improved wound healing (89.66%) compared with controls (37.16%) by day 15. Histological examination confirmed collagen deposition and hair follicle regeneration, indicative of complete healing. Hematological findings showed increased red blood cell counts and reduced white blood cells, reflecting resolution of inflammation. Serum analyses revealed elevated anti-inflammatory markers (interleukin [IL]-10), TIMPs, and antioxidants (GSH, GPx, CAT, and SOD), alongside decreased pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, IL-1\u03b2, and tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1), MMPs, angiogenic factor VEGF, and oxidative stress marker MDA. Hydrogel 4 showed a 3.47-fold increase in SOD and a 68% reduction in MDA, underscoring its efficacy in mitigating oxidative stress. In conclusion, the sericin-based hydrogel infused with P guajava L. exhibited excellent physicochemical and biological properties, promoting effective burn wound healing. Hydrogel 4 demonstrated the most pronounced therapeutic benefits, making it a promising candidate for advanced wound dressing applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jbcr\/irag004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,15]],"date-time":"2026-01-15T12:56:45Z","timestamp":1768481805000},"page":"833-849","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Synthesis of Sericin-Based Stretchable and Self-healing Hydrogel Loaded With\n                    <i>Psidium guajava<\/i>\n                    L.
