A new bio-inspired wound dressing material that captures and controls the release of growth factors involved in wound healing has shown promising results in animal and human skin models. The new material, developed by scientists at Imperial College London, U.K., accelerates wound healing and human skin repair by releasing these molecules only when migrating cells apply tension to the dressing. In new research published in Nature Materials, the dressings helped wounds on a mou

Nano-Micro Lett. 2026; 18:390. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40820-026-02240-6 CC-BY 4.0 Researchers in Hong Kong and mainland China have developed a bionic “cooling skin” dressing that is reported to protect infected wounds, enhance patient comfort, and deliver on‑demand antibacterial activity. The article was published in Nano-Micro Letters. The team, led by investigators at The Hong Kong Polytech
