“…Hippocrates explain cancer as finger like projections which mind the crab shape [1,2]. Cancer is characterized by abnormal growth of cell with potential to invade other areas or distant part of body [3][4][5]. Different terms are used for explaining the cancers and malignant cells, with all depend on its origin whether it is sarcoma (like fat, bones, muscles, cartilages, and blood vessels), carcinoma (like skin or any internal tissue), leukemia (like bone marrow) or lymphoma (like immune system).…”

: Burn wounds are complex and intricate injuries that have become a common cause of trauma leading to significant mortality and morbidity every year. Dressings are applied to burn wounds with the aim of promoting wound healing, preventing burn infection and restoring skin function. The dressing protects the injury and contributes to recovery of dermal and epidermal tissues. Polymer-based nanotherapeutics are increasingly being exploited as burn wound dressings. Natural polymers such as cellulose, chitin, alginate, collagen, gelatin and synthetic polymers like poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid), polycaprolactone, polyethylene glycol, and polyvinyl alcohol are being obtained as nanofibers by nanotechnological approaches like electrospinning and have shown wound healing and re-epithelialization properties. Their biocompatibility, biodegradability, sound mechanical properties and unique structures provide optimal microenvironment for cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration contributing to burn wound healing. The polymeric nanofibers mimic collagen fibers present in extracellular matrix and their high porosity and surface area to volume ratio enable increased interaction and sustained release of therapeutics at the site of thermal injury. This review is an attempt to compile all recent advances in the use of polymer-based nanotherapeutics for burn wounds. The various natural and synthetic polymers used have been discussed comprehensively and approaches being employed have been reported. With immense research effort that is currently being invested in this field and development of proper characterization and regulatory framework, future progress in burn treatment is expected to occur. Moreover, appropriate preclinical and clinical research will provide evidence for the great potential that polymer-based nanotherapeutics hold in the management of burn wounds.

Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin condition that is also inflammatory and proliferative. Psoriasis is caused by activation of T-cells and is distinguished by prominent, drab-red, or peach-pink tight patches with silvery scales on the skin. In recent years, there have been some significant advances in the study of the etiology of inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis. The nanotechnology-based novel formulation provides a great occasion for enhancing the efficacy and safety of pharmacotherapeutic agents for psoriasis. The benefits of nanotechnological techniques to offer an effective drug concentration in the disease site and nanocarrier as innovative possibilities for drug delivery systems in psoriasis and other inflammatory chronic skin disorder are highlighted in this area. We have explored the mechanisms underlying the pathogenic aspects of psoriasis in this review, as well as phytoconstituents, naturally occurring substances found in plants with anti-psoriatic properties. Anti-psoriatic action is attributed to phytochemicals that target cytokine signaling pathways. We also discussed the benefits of loading phytoconstituents as drugs in nanocarriers such as liposomes, niosomes, invasomes, phytosomes, transferosomes, and pro-niosomes for improved topical therapy and delivery of phytoconstituents with a better therapeutic profile and lower toxicity.
