Abstract
In article number 2009442, Ang Li, Yilong Cheng, and co-workers develop a facile dressing strategy via one-pot radical copolymerization of acrylamide and the complex formed through a boronate ester bond by 3-acrylamido phenylboronic acid and green tea derivative epigallocatechin-3-gallate. The resulting hydrogels exhibit good mechanical strength, adequate tissue adhesiveness, fast self-healing capability, easy dressing change, and multiple therapeutic effects, all of which provide a promising and practical method for effective diabetic chronic wound management.
