    TLDR Gold nanoparticles with silk fibroin improve wound healing better than silk fibroin alone.
    The study investigated the wound-healing potential of gold nanoparticles combined with silk fibroin-based nanofiber using a green chemistry approach. Conducted on 40 rats divided into two treatment periods (7 and 21 days), the research compared control, silver, silk fibroin, and silk + gold nanoparticle groups. Results showed that the gold nanoparticle/silk fibroin-based nanofiber effectively restored skin damage indicators to normal levels and promoted hair follicle formation and re-epithelialization at the wound site. The study concluded that the addition of gold nanoparticles to silk fibroin significantly enhanced wound-healing properties compared to silk fibroin alone.
