This research area is both challenging and has attracted significant attention. Wound healing is a complex and orderly process involving the precise coordination of various growth factors, inflammatory cells, and repair cells. To optimize this intricate process, researchers have developed a series of innovative synthetic dressings designed to improve the wound healing environment. Among these dressings, the natural polymer chitosan has emerged as a preferred material due to its cost-effectiveness, renewable nature, and exceptional biocompatibility and biodegradability, as demonstrated in the biomedical field, particularly in the area of wound dressings.
