Healing of chronic wounds is challenging because of the imbalance of growth factors and common occurrence of infection. In article 1800132 , Svetlana A. Sukhishvili and co‐workers develop a dual‐releasing, multiscale system of biodegradable nanofibers to simultaneously accelerate wound healing and mitigate bacterial infection. A unique strategy of submicron topography provided by the surface‐bound polymer micelles enables accelerated wound healing and supported localized delivery of antibiotics.
