狠狠撸 Professors Junghwan Oh, Byeongil Lee, and Sudip Mondal鈥檚 Research Team Selected for Front Cover Article in International Academic Journal

- Hydrogel-Based Smart Materials for Wound Healing and Sensing 鈥淎ggregate鈥�

狠狠撸 (President Bae Sang-Hoon) announced that research conducted by Professor Junghwan Oh (Department of Biomedical Engineering), Professor Byeongil Lee, and Professor Sudip Mondal (Digital Healthcare Research Center) has been selected as the front cover article of the international academic journal Aggregate (Impact Factor: 13.7), published by Wiley. The research team recently published a review article titled 鈥淗ydrogel-Based Smart Materials for Wound Healing and Sensing鈥� in Aggregate, a globally recognized journal ranked in the top 8.6% in the fields of chemistry and multidisciplinary sciences.

The published article explores recent advancements in hydrogel-based materials for wound healing and real-time monitoring. It highlights innovations in flexible, biocompatible hydrogels that mimic the extracellular matrix while addressing challenges related to stability, toxicity, and integration with smart monitoring systems. Hydrogels are particularly promising in modern wound care due to their high-water content, flexibility, and excellent biocompatibility. The research team demonstrates the role of hydrogel-based flexible materials in advancing biomedical applications, including wound healing, point-of-care diagnostics, smart patches, and wearable devices

The team鈥檚 accomplishments were made possible by the contributions of all co-authors, with special recognition to graduate students Ms. Thi Kim Ngan Duong and Mr. Truong Tien Vo, as well as through international collaboration with Professor Umapada Pal from Benem-rita Universidad Aut-noma de Puebla, Mexico.

Professor Sudip Mondal stated that by combining biocompatible materials with smart sensing technologies, the research is paving the way for next-generation wound dressings that are adaptive, responsive, and clinically impactful. Professor Byeongil Lee expressed that the work highlights the transformative potential of multifunctional hydrogels in advancing wound care toward future medicine and personalized treatment. Professor Junghwan Oh mentioned that this collaboration represents a significant leap forward in the development of intelligent hydrogel-based materials that integrate real-time monitoring for smart healthcare applications.

Meanwhile, the study was supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) and the 2024 Global Joint Research Program of 狠狠撸.
