Hydrogel-based neural engineering for skin wound healing (opens in new tab)

Neuro-driven skin regeneration represents an emerging paradigm in wound healing that integrates peripheral nerve repair with functional skin restoration. Hydrogels serve as versatile platforms for supporting such dual tissue regeneration, owing to their biocompatibility, tunable physicochemical properties, and ability to mimic the extracellular matrix. Recent advances have enabled the development of multifunctional hydrogels that combine biophysical and biochemical cues—including conductive m...
