A wound refers to the epithelial loss, accompanied by loss of muscle fibers collagen, nerves and bone instigated by surgery, trauma, frictions or by heat. Process of wound healing is a compounded activity of recovering the functional integrity of the damaged tissues. This process is mediated by various cytokines and growth factors usually liberated at the wound site. A plethora of herbal and synthetic drugs, as well as photodynamic therapy, is available to facilitate the process of wound healing. Generally, the systems used for the management of wounds tend to act through covering the ruptured site, reduce pain, inflammation, and prevent the invasion and growth of microorganisms. The available systems are, though, enough to meet these requirements, but the involvement of nanotechnology can ameliorate the performance of these protective coverings. In recent years, nano-based formulations have gained immense popularity among researchers for the wound healing process due to the enhanced benefits they offer over the conventional preparations. Hereupon, this review aims to cover the entire roadmap of wound healing, beginning from the molecular factors involved in the process, the various synthetic and herbal agents, and combination therapy available for the treatment and the current nano-based systems available for delivery through the topical route for wound healing.

: Wound healing is a complex and dynamic phenomenon that involves the restoration of normal physiology and functioning of injured tissue. The process of wound healing is primarily regulated by various cytokines, inflammatory mediators, and growth factors at the molecular level. Any intervention in the normal wound healing process leads to further tissue damage, which in turn leads to delayed wound healing. Several natural, synthetic drugs and their combinations were used to restored and accelerate the wound healing process. However, the conventional delivery carriers were not much effective, and thus, nowadays, nanocarriers are gaining much popularity since they are playing a pivotal role in drug delivery. Since nanocarriers have their own applicability and benefits (enhance the bioavailability, site-specific targeting) so, they can accelerate wound healing more efficiently. This review briefly discussed about the various events that take place during the wound healing process with emphasis on various natural, synthetic, and combination drug therapy used for accelerating wound healing and the role of nanotechnology-based approaches in chronic wound healing.

Core-shell nanofibers have great potential for bio-medical applications such as wound healing dressings where multiple drugs and growth factors are expected to be delivered at different healing phases. Compared to monoaxial nanofibers, core-shell nanofibers can control the drug release profile easier, providing sustainable and effective drugs and growth factors for wound healing. However, it is challenging to produce core-shell structured nanofibers with a high production rate at low energy consumption. Co-axial centrifugal spinning is an alternative method to address the above limitations to produce core-shell nanofibers effectively. In this study, a co-axial centrifugal spinning device was designed and assembled to produce core-shell nanofibers for controlling the release rate of ibuprofen and hEGF in inflammation and proliferation phases during the wound healing process. Core-shell structured nanofibers were confirmed by TEM. This work demonstrated that the co-axial centrifugal spinning is a high productivity process that can produce materials with a 3D environment mimicking natural tissue scaffold, and the specific drug can be loaded into different layers to control the drug release rate to improve the drug efficiency and promote wound healing.

Epidermal lipoxygenase enzyme extracted from Ambystoma mexicanum (AmbLOXe) is known to accelerate the wound-healing process. AmbLOXe as a protein suffers from inactivation and losing its activity during formulation. Therefore, a delivery system that protects AmbLOXe from inactivation and preserves its activity is needed. We prepared AmbLOXe-loaded pectin nanoparticles (AmbLOXe Pec-NPs) and placed them into an alginate hydrogel. AmbLOXe Pec-NPs incorporation into the alginate hydrogel provides a means for controlled and sustained delivery of AmbLOXe to the wound site. Furthermore, the suitable swelling behavior and mechanical properties of AmbLOXe Pec-NPs alginate hydrogel make it feasible for clinical use. AmbLOXe Pec-NPs alginate hydrogel significantly enhanced the wound-healing process on the rat full-thickness excisional wounds, increased the rate of wound closure, enhanced the re-epithelialization and decreased the incidence of abnormal scarring. AmbLOXe Pec-NPs alginate hydrogel can be proposed as an effective wound hydrogel for improving wound healing with minimal scarring.

Attention to nanoemulsions has significantly grown in recent years as a result of their unique features like better stability, special appearance, higher performance, and sensorial merits. Chronic injuries are the consequence of a disturbance in the extremely coordinated cataract of wound healing actions. Nevertheless, correlated with variations in the timescales of various physical methods embroiled in tissue renewal, the aggression of the tumor microenvironment, rich in decaying enzymes, as well as its increased pH, demands the use of efficient drug delivery applications. This chapter summarizes that the various stages of wound healing include four phases: hemostatic stage, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling process, respectively. Moreover, the major reported classes of lipid-based elements were either vesicular (liposome, permeation increased vesicle, etc.), emulsion-based behavior (nano-emulsion and micro-emulsion), or comprise a solid-based liquid matrix in the wound-healing process.

AbstractDelayed wound healing causes problems for many patients both physically and psychologically, contributing to pain, economic burden, loss of function, and even amputation. Although many factors affect the wound healing process, abnormally prolonged or augmented inflammation in the wound site is a common cause of poor wound healing. Excessive neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation during this phase may amplify inflammation and hinder wound healing. However, the roles of NETs in wound healing are still unclear. Herein, we briefly introduce NET formation and discuss the possible NET-related mechanisms in wound healing. We conclude with a discussion of current studies, focusing on the roles of NETs in diabetic and normoglycemic wounds and the effectiveness of NET-targeting treatments in wound healing.

Abstract: The usage of larvae in wound treatment has been known across the centuries in different countries. However, larval therapy is offered when the conventional therapy has failed in the management of chronic, infected wounds. Concerning the larval therapy, it was presumed that the wound healing was due to the mechanical debridement effect of the larval movement and of their hooks. To date, a variety of study reports reveals that there are several beneficial effects of the larval therapy, inter alia: secretion/excretion of larvae contains enzymes, growth factors, and cytokines that collaborate in the wound healing process. The bioactive molecules in the secretion/excretion of the larvae has to be further studied and to be developed, therefore, they can be applied in the wound management efficiently and economically. Keywords: larval therapy, chronic wound, healing process.     Abstrak: Walaupun pemanfaatan larva pada luka kronis telah sangat lama dikenal di berbagai negara, terapi larva umumnya digunakan bila terapi konvensional telah gagal. Awalnya diduga bahwa efek debridemen mekanis oleh gerakan larva dan kaitnya yang paling berperan. Dewasa ini, laporan berbagi studi telah mengungkapkan bahwa larva menyekresi dan menyintesis berbagai bahan baik berupa enzim, sitokin, dan growth factors yang turut berperan dalam proses penyembuhan luka. Adanya molekul bioaktif dalam ekskresi dan sekresi larva perlu diteliti dan dikembangkan agar dapat diaplikasikan dengan lebih efisien dan ekonomis. Kata kunci: terapi larva, luka kronis, penyembuhan luka.

Burns can be caused by various factors and have an increased risk of infection that can seriously delay the wound healing process. Chronic wounds caused by burns represent a major health problem. Wound healing is a complex process, orchestrated by cytokines, growth factors, prostaglandins, free radicals, clotting factors, and nitric oxide. Growth factors released during this process are involved in cell growth, proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Reactive oxygen species are released in acute and chronic burn injuries and play key roles in healing and regeneration. The main aim of this review is to present the roles of growth factors, reactive oxygen species, and metformin in the healing process of burn injuries.
