Full Description
This book provides a comprehensive examination of wound healing, starting with the foundational knowledge, including the factors affecting it, and the principles guiding wound healing. It delves into the molecular underpinnings of wound healing, particularly in the context of diabetes, and discusses the challenges of chronic wound healing, including the limitations of existing treatments. It explores the current status and future prospects of nanomaterials, including innovative approaches such as smart 3D printed hydrogels, drug-loaded nanomaterials, and natural bioactive compounds encapsulated within nanomaterials. The book also introduces bio-inspired nanomaterials and their application in wound dressings and tissue regeneration, emphasizing the diagnostic-to-therapeutic strategy continuum. Further chapters cover the specific roles of nano-biomaterials in diabetic wound healing, skin tissue engineering, and the antibacterial properties of nanomaterials that promote wound healing. It looks into engineered nanomaterials, green synthesized nanomaterials for wound healing and cell growth stimulation, and the advanced application of nanocellulose. The role of the immune system in wound healing and strategies for modulating immune responses to enhance healing processes are explored. Lastly, the book addresses the mechanisms of nanomaterials in wound healing, their recent advancements, limitations, future perspectives, and the importance of conducting toxicity studies on nanomaterials used for wound healing. This book is an invaluable resource for researchers, clinical practitioners, and students of biomedical engineering, human physiology, and nanotechnology.
