AI-guided microneedle patch inspired by carnivorous plants accelerates wound healing

Caption

Researchers developed an AI-guided, 4D-printed microneedle patch inspired by the carnivorous plant Drosera capensis. The shape-changing device bends at body temperature to help close wounds while delivering regenerative DNA and antibacterial zinc treatment. In preclinical wound-healing experiments, the technology accelerated wound healing and promoted tissue regeneration.
