Nanomaterials in the Wound Healing Process: New Insights and Advancements

Abstract

Wounds, which are becoming more common as a result of traumas, surgery, burns, and chronic illnesses like diabetes, remain a critical medical problem. Infectious bacteria impact the healing process, particularly if its biofilm (biological films) leads to a prolonged effect. Nanomaterials have emerged as promising candidates in the field of wound healing due to their unique properties and versatile applications. New insights into the interactions between nanomaterials and wound microenvironments have shed light on the mechanisms underlying their therapeutic effects. However, a significantly minimal amount of research has been carried out to see if these nanomaterials significantly promote the wound healing process. In this review, we provided an outline of the various types of nanomaterials that have been studied for healing wounds and infection prevention. Overall, the utilization of nanomaterials in wound healing holds great promise and continues to evolve, providing new opportunities for the development of effective and efficient wound care therapies.

“…Liposomes [124] Spherical vesicles composed of one or more lipid layers surrounding an aqueous core. Morphologically similar to cell membranes, they can encapsulate hydrophilic drugs in their aqueous core and lipophilic drugs in the lipid bilayer, making them versatile for the delivery of a wide range of therapies.…”
