TLDR Nanobiotechnology could improve chronic wound healing and reduce costs.
The document reviewed the application of nanobiotechnology in chronic wound healing, emphasizing its potential to improve treatment outcomes through advanced materials like nanoparticles, hydrogels, and scaffolds. These materials aimed to enhance wound repair by promoting angiogenesis, reducing inflammation, and providing antimicrobial properties. Key findings included the use of silver, gold, and copper nanoparticles for their antimicrobial effects, and the development of smart hydrogels and bandages capable of responding to stimuli and monitoring wound status. Despite promising advancements, the review noted challenges such as biocompatibility, cost, and the need for more research, particularly in human models, to fully realize the clinical potential of these technologies.
