Wound pH has emerged as a promising therapeutic target in diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). Here, we aimed to develop a microparticle-loaded hydrogel for pH modulation in wound fluid. In a screen of polymeric and inorganic microparticles, zeolites were identified as pH-modulating microparticles.

Article Synopsis
  • * Recent research emphasizes the importance of wound pH in the healing process, indicating that lowering the pH locally could enhance healing and infection control in diabetic wounds.
  • * Ongoing studies are developing pH-modulating treatments to improve healing in DFUs, which need testing in both animal models and human patients to better understand their safety and effectiveness.
