TLDR Nanobioceramics can effectively and cheaply heal wounds without side effects.
The review discusses the potential of nanobioceramics as effective and economical alternatives for wound healing, emphasizing their biocompatibility and interaction with living tissues. It highlights three primary categories: oxide ceramics, silicate-based ceramics, and calcium-phosphate ceramics, which promote angiogenesis, cell stimulation, and antibacterial activity. These materials are cost-effective compared to expensive growth factors and pharmaceuticals, with silver nitrate being the most costly precursor at 5.8 USD per gram. Various nanoparticles, such as Al2O3, ZrO2, and TiO2, show promising wound healing capabilities, including enhanced cell proliferation and accelerated healing. The review also notes the potential of these materials in stimulating cell growth and modulating macrophage polarization, offering viable solutions for wound healing applications. Further research is encouraged to integrate bioceramics into wound treatment strategies.
