This book offers a comprehensive exploration of how biopolymers—natural and bioengineered macromolecules—are revolutionizing wound care by mimicking the extracellular matrix, modulating immune responses, and enabling targeted delivery of therapeutic agents. Drawing on insights from leading experts, it examines key materials such as chitosan, alginate, collagen, and hyaluronic acid, highlighting their roles in advanced wound dressings, bioactive scaffolds, and drug delivery systems. Readers will gain a deep understanding of the biological mechanisms behind impaired healing, the biomimetic properties of biopolymers, and the cutting-edge technologies bridging laboratory research with clinical application. Designed as both an inspiring guide and a vital reference, this book is valuable for all readers who are interested in understanding wound management.
