Antibacterial wound healing approaches often target bacteria but overlook the inflammation response caused by products release by dead bacteria. Here, the authors report on the development of Boride nanoparticles to treat infection and prevent excessive inflammation by trapping lipopolysaccharides/peptidoglycans.
