December 2025 in “Nano Letters” The study presents a novel tannin-modified cellulose-polypyrrole nonwoven dressing (TA/Cell@PPy) designed to accelerate wound healing by combining antimicrobial protection with electrotherapy. The dressing utilizes tannic acid for antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli, and conductive polypyrrole to enhance endogenous electric fields, promoting re-epithelialization. In vivo evaluations show that TA/Cell@PPy significantly speeds up wound closure through enhanced granulation tissue, optimized collagen matrix organization, and stimulated angiogenesis. Its biomimetic nanofibrous architecture ensures biocompatibility and prevents secondary trauma during dressing changes, offering a promising solution for complex wound management by addressing infection control and tissue regeneration simultaneously.
