Microchannel-Containing Nanofiber Aerogels with Small Protein Molecule Enable Accelerated Diabetic Wound Healing

Caption

Fibrous aerogels contain micro/macrochannels which facilitate the ability to heal chronic diabetic wounds. A novel protein incorporated into the aerogel provides anti-microbial capabilities and promotes wound tissue coverage and new blood vessel formation.
