Bioceramic materials with ion-mediated multifunctionality for wound healing.

Regeneration of both anatomic and functional integrity of the skin tissues after injury represents a huge challenge considering the sophisticated healing process and variability of specific wounds. In the past decades, numerous efforts have been made to construct bioceramic-based wound dressing materials with ion-mediated multifunctionality for facilitating the healing process. In this review, the state-of-the-art progress on bioceramic materials with ion-mediated bioactivity for wound healing is summarized. Followed by a brief discussion on the bioceramic materials with ion-mediated biological activities, the emerging bioceramic-based materials are highlighted for wound healing applications owing to their ion-mediated bioactivities, including anti-infection function, angiogenic activity, improved skin appendage regeneration, antitumor effect, and so on. Finally, concluding remarks and future perspectives of bioceramic-based wound dressing materials for clinical practice are briefly discussed.
