Engineered near-infrared-responsive PNIPAM/alginate hydrogels for active mechanical stimulation and infection control in diabetic wound healing.

Diabetic wound healing is severely impaired by four core pathological barriers-persistent hyperglycemia, excessive inflammation, bacterial infection, and deficient wound contraction. Herein, we developed a near-infrared (NIR)-responsive antibacterial hydrogel composed of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), sodium alginate, gr...
