Description

Junpeng Sun and thirteen co-authors, in 2026, coat a wound fabric with a crystalline framework built to steer the acidity of diabetic foot ulcers. Those wounds stall because their environment stays too alkaline and infection-prone. Healthy healing needs a moving target: acidic early to fight bacteria, then gentler conditions for skin cells to rebuild.

The framework, built from hydrogen-bonded organic units, guides the wound through a near-neutral, weakly acidic, then near-neutral sequence while its light-activated chemistry suppresses infection. Bench tests showed strong blood-clotting performance, high moisture transmission, safety, and long-term stability. The coating also managed wound fluid and calmed inflammation in the team's testing. The authors present the material as a combined plan that modulates acidity, fights infection, encourages vessel growth, and boosts collagen, aiming squarely at one of diabetes care's most stubborn complications.
