Key aspect/summary of your research project
项目简介


Chronic diabetic wounds represent a major healthcare challenge due to persistent inflammation, excessive oxidative stress, bacterial infection, impaired angiogenesis, and delayed tissue regeneration. Existing wound dressings primarily provide passive protection and often fail to actively regulate the pathological wound microenvironment. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop multifunctional biomaterials capable of promoting tissue repair through coordinated biological regulation.

This project aims to develop a multifunctional ion-responsive self-assembled peptide–polymer/MXene hybrid hydrogel as a next-generation therapeutic platform for diabetic wound healing. By integrating bioactive self-assembling peptides, functional polymers, MXene nanomaterials, and ion-responsive crosslinking strategies, the hydrogel will be engineered to mimic key features of the native extracellular matrix while providing tunable mechanical properties, excellent injectability, and sustained bioactivity. The multifunctional hydrogel is expected to dynamically regulate the wound microenvironment by scavenging reactive oxygen species, modulating immune responses, promoting angiogenesis, inhibiting bacterial infection, and accelerating tissue regeneration.

The project combines expertise in biomaterials engineering, protein engineering, nanomaterials, and regenerative medicine. The successful candidate will undertake the rational design, synthesis, and physicochemical characterization of the hydrogel, followed by comprehensive biological evaluation using in vitro cell models and diabetic wound animal models. This interdisciplinary research will provide fundamental insights into the design of bioactive hybrid biomaterials and contribute to the development of innovative therapeutic strategies for chronic wound management, with strong potential for future clinical translation.

糖尿病慢性创面由于持续炎症、过量活性氧(ROS)积累、细菌感染、血管新生不足及组织再生能力受损,已成为临床治疗中的重大挑战。现有创面敷料主要提供物理保护,难以主动调控复杂的创面微环境,因此,开发兼具多种生物活性的智能生物材料对于促进糖尿病创面修复具有重要意义。

本项目拟构建一种多功能离子响应性自组装肽–聚合物/MXene复合水凝胶,用于糖尿病创面的精准治疗。该体系将融合生物活性自组装肽、功能聚合物、MXene二维纳米材料及离子响应性交联策略,构建具有细胞外基质(ECM)仿生结构和优异理化性能的多功能水凝胶。通过合理设计材料组成与结构,实现对创面微环境的动态调控,赋予材料抗氧化、免疫调节、促血管新生、抗菌及促进组织再生等多重功能,从而加速糖尿病创面的修复过程。

本项目将结合生物材料设计、蛋白质工程、纳米材料及再生医学等多学科优势,系统开展杂化水凝胶的构建与优化、理化性能表征、生物学功能评价及糖尿病创面修复机制研究。研究成果不仅有望揭示多功能杂化生物材料调控创面微环境的新机制,也将为新一代智能创面修复材料的设计与临床转化提供理论基础和技术支撑。
