Advancement in Nanoformulations for the Management of Diabetic Wound Healing

Abstract

People with diabetes have a very slow tendency for wound healing. Wound healing is a vast process where several factors inhibit the sequence of healing. Nano-formulations play a major role in acute and chronic wound healing. The present manuscript aims to discuss the role of nanoformulations for diabetic wound healing treatment. Diabetes is a common disease that has harmful consequences which over the time lead to serious damage to many of the body's systems, especially the nerves and blood vessels. During the literature survey, it was observed that nanotechnology has significant advantages in the treatment of diabetic wound healing. The present manuscript summarized the role of nanomaterials in wound healing, challenges in diabetic wound healing, physiology of wound healing, limitations that come during wound repair, and treatments available for wound healing. After a comprehensive literature survey, it can be concluded that health worker needs more focus on the area of wound healing in diabetic patients. Medical practitioners, pharmaceutical, and biomedical researchers need more attention towards the utilization of nano-formulations for the treatment of wound healing, specifically in the case of diabetes.
