心脏纤维化是多种心血管疾病常见且关键的病理环节,显著阻碍心功能恢复并影响远期预后。传统药物如肾素-血管紧张素-醛固酮系统抑制剂虽有一定抗心脏纤维化作用,但其靶向性不足、作用机制相对局限,难以实现对心脏纤维化核心通路的精准干预。近年来,纳米材料凭借其独特的尺寸效应、可调控的表面性质及良好的生物相容性,在心脏纤维化的精准治疗与组织修复中展现出巨大潜力。该文综述纳米材料在心脏纤维化修复中的最新进展,重点阐述其精准递送、智能控释、功能仿生以及多功能复合集成等策略,剖析纳米材料如何从分子层面调控关键信号通路,在细胞层面调控成纤维细胞、免疫细胞及内皮细胞等功能,进而促进组织层面的结构重建与功能恢复,实现从精准干预到组织重塑的系统性修复。该文还探讨了纳米材料在心血管疾病领域临床转化的现状与挑战,包括其生物安全性、规模化生产及跨物种转化等问题,并展望其未来发展方向,旨在为开发高效、安全的抗心脏纤维化纳米治疗策略提供理论参考与实践指引。
