Abstract

Abstract Delayed re‐epithelization and weakened skin contractions are the two primary factors that hinder wound closure in large‐scale acute or chronic wounds. However, effective strategies for targeting these two aspects concurrently are still lacking. Herein, an antioxidative active‐shrinkage hydrogel (AHF@AS Gel) is constructed that can integratedly promote re‐epithelization and skin constriction to accelerate large‐scale acute and diabetic chronic wound closure. The AHF@AS Gel is encapsulated by antioxidative amino‐ and hydroxyl‐modified C 70 fullerene (AHF) and a thermosensitive active shrinkage hydrogel (AS Gel). Specifically, AHF relieves overactivated inflammation, prevents cellular apoptosis, and…
