Light-Controlled Growth Factors Release on Tetrapodal ZnO-Incorporated 3D-Printed Hydrogels for Developing Smart Wound Scaffold
About the Cover:
We present a 3D printed smart wound scaffold encapsulating growth factors decorated with light-sensitive and antibacterial tetrapodal zinc oxide (t-ZnO) microparticles for the treatment of chronic wounds. The multifunctional pro perties of the smart scaffold combined with light-triggered angiogenic factor release, antibacterial properties, and tissue compatibility enable fast wound recovery.
