Extracellular matrix‐mimicking hydrogels with antioxidant, hemostasis, and antibacterial properties offer translating avenues towards wound repair through the promotion of fibroblast proliferation. In article number 2001122 by Hélder A. Santos, Mohammad‐Ali Shahbazi, and co‐workers, hydrogen bonding among the functional groups of gelatin and tannic acid creates a biocompatible hydrogel, where the improvement of re‐epithelialization and collagen deposition are its main features to treat full‐thickness wounds.
