Tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs) can accelerate the proliferation and migration of human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs), which are important processes of corneal epithelial wound healing. In article number 1901907, Yunfeng Lin and co‐workers show through in vivo experiments that tFNAs can also promote wound healing of a rabbit corneal alkali burn. Thus, tFNAs are promising nanomaterials to promote corneal epithelial wound healing in the future.
