Bioactive herbal supramolecular hydrogels with a hierarchical nanofibrillar structure via metal ion mediated co-assembly

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: , excellent biocompatibility, and pronounced anti-inflammatory effects. This work provides valuable insights into the relationships between nanostructure and functionality in multicomponent bioactive herbal hydrogels, offering a supramolecular strategy to mimic the synergistic therapeutic principles of traditional Chinese medicine. These findings pave the way for the development of nature-inspired bioactive hydrogels for wound healing and broader biomedical applications.
