Signaling Pathways Triggering Therapeutic Hydrogels in Promoting Chronic Wound Healing

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the prevalence of chronic wounds, such as pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and venous ulcers of the lower extremities. The main contributors to chronic wound formation are bacterial infection, prolonged inflammation, and peripheral vascular disease. However, effectively treating these chronic wounds remains a global challenge. Hydrogels have extensively explored as wound healing dressing because of their excellent biocompatibility and structural similarity to extracellular matrix (ECM). Nonetheless, much is still unknown how the hydrogels promote wound repair and regeneration. Signaling pathways play critical roles in wound healing process by controlling and coordinating cells and biomolecules. Hydrogels, along with their therapeutic ingredients that impact signaling pathways, have the potential to significantly enhance the wound healing process and its ultimate outcomes. Understanding this interaction will undoubtedly provide new insights into developing advanced hydrogels for wound repair and regeneration. This paper reviews the latest studies on classical signaling pathways and potential targets influenced by hydrogel scaffolds in chronic wound healing. This work hopes that it will offer a different perspective in developing more efficient hydrogels for treating chronic wounds.
