Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of Biomimetics on "Advanced Biomaterials for Wound Healing Application" explores innovative approaches in wound care through the use of bioinspired materials. This collection highlights cutting-edge biomaterials that mimic natural processes to promote faster and more effective healing. It covers a range of topics, including biocompatible scaffolds, hydrogels, nanomaterials, and drug delivery systems, designed to enhance tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation. It also examines the role of biomaterials in addressing chronic wounds, infections, and scar minimization. Contributions from experts in biomedical engineering, material science, and regenerative medicine provide insights into the latest research and development of multifunctional wound dressings, bioactive materials, and smart bandages. Overall, this Special Issue underscores the potential of biomimetic materials to revolutionize wound management by harnessing nature’s principles to improve patient outcomes.

Chronic wounds pose a significant healthcare challenge due to their risk of severe complications, necessitating effective management strategies. Bioresorbable materials have emerged as an innovative solution, offering advantages such as eliminating the need for secondary surgical removal, reducing infection risks, and enabling time-delayed drug delivery. This review examines recent advancements in bioresorbable wound healing materials, focusing on a systematic review of bioresorbable materials, systems incorporating electrical stimulation, and drug delivery technologies to accelerate tissue repair. The discussion encompasses the fundamental principles of bioresorbable materials, including their resorption mechanisms and key properties, alongside preclinical applications that demonstrate their practical potential. Critical challenges impeding widespread adoption are addressed, and prospects for integrating these cutting-edge systems into clinical practice are outlined. Together, these insights underscore the promise of bioresorbable materials in revolutionizing chronic wound care. Full article
