Resumo

Highlights • Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a major complication of diabetes. • We describe the development of next-generation technologies for DFU repair. • We highlight the modest success of growth factor-, scaffold-, and cell-based DFU therapies. • We rationalize that combination therapies will be necessary to enable effective and reliable DFU repair.
