Self-healing materials (SHMs) are substances that automatically repair damage, mimicking organic healing. These materials have a wide range of applications, including construction, biomedicine, transportation, and even textiles. SHMs can extend the longevity of manufactured goods and have numerous uses in medical healing (Crawford, 2024).
Animal models have traditionally served as the cornerstone of drug safety evaluation; however, major translational challenges persist due to interspecies differences in physiology, metabolism, and genetic regulation. Many compounds demonstrating favorable toxicity profiles in animals later fail during human trials or are withdrawn post-marketing due to unforeseen adverse effects, especially hepatotoxicity and cardiotoxicity (Lee et al., 2025).
