TLDR Bionanomaterials from natural sources show promise in improving wound healing and tissue regeneration.
The document discussed the advancements in bionanomaterials for wound healing and tissue regeneration, highlighting their potential in addressing the challenges of abnormal wound healing. Bionanomaterials, synthesized from plants, microbes, and animals, were noted for their biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-toxicity, and bioactive properties, such as antimicrobial and immune modulatory effects. These properties created a favorable environment for wound healing. The document emphasized the use of natural biomolecules like chitosan, hyaluronic acid, and collagen in developing these materials, which were researched for their high surface-to-volume ratio and chemical affinity, showing promise in enhancing the healing of chronic wounds.
