In article number 2009442, Ang Li, Yilong Cheng, and co‐workers develop a facile dressing strategy via one‐pot radical copolymerization of acrylamide and the complex formed through a boronate ester bond by 3‐acrylamido phenylboronic acid and green tea derivative epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate. The resulting hydrogels exhibit good mechanical strength, adequate tissue adhesiveness, fast self‐healing capability, easy dressing change, and multiple therapeutic effects, all of which provide a promising and practical method for effective diabetic chronic wound management.
