Abstract
To address an urgent need in clinics on developing a new generation of therapeutic dressings with advanced functionalities, this study has exploited the utilization of Cu-containing mesoporous bioactive glass in the nanocellulose matrix to release Cu2+ as therapeutic ions for its angiogenic effect on promoting wound healing. This manuscript reports research work on biomaterial design, fabrication development, material characterizations and bioassessments in 2D cellular studies. To utilize nanocellulose derived from the wood resource in biomedical applications is of great significance, due to its vast availability and bioeconomy competence. The use of Cu-containing bioactive glass in tissue engineering scaffolds, including wound healing, is an intriguing research topic, which has been recently discussed in the field of biomaterials. I think that our manuscript title with 'Biocomposites of copper-containing mesoporous bioactive glass and nanofibrillated cellulose: biocompatibility and angiogenic promotion in chronic wound healing application' will make its own contribution on understanding the complex effects of Cu2+ on wound-healing-relevant events with acceptable novelty for Acta Biomaterialia.
