    Study Notes

    Growth Factors in Wound Healing

    • Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF): Promotes re-epithelialization, accelerates wound closure, and stimulates keratinocyte and fibroblast proliferation and migration.
    • Transforming Growth Factor-Beta (TGF-β): Regulates inflammation, promotes extracellular matrix deposition, controls scar tissue formation, and activates fibroblasts.
    • Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF): Stimulates fibroblasts and angiogenesis, promotes granulation tissue formation, and attracts immune cells.
    • Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF): Promotes angiogenesis, supports vascularization, and contributes to the formation of granulation tissue.
    • Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF): Stimulates fibroblast proliferation, promotes granulation tissue formation, and enhances wound contraction.
    • Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1): Facilitates re-epithelialization, promotes granulation tissue formation, and stimulates fibroblast and keratinocyte proliferation and migration.
    • Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF): Enhances re-epithelialization and skin barrier restoration by stimulating keratinocyte proliferation and migration.
    • Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF): Promotes wound debridement and angiogenesis by stimulating immune cell proliferation and activity.
    • Interleukin-4 (IL-4): Reduces inflammation, supports tissue repair, and promotes M2 macrophage polarization.
    • Interleukin-13 (IL-13): Similar to IL-4, reduces inflammation, promotes fibroblast proliferation, and facilitates tissue remodeling.
    • Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist (IL-1Ra): Controls excessive inflammation, reduces tissue damage, and promotes healing by blocking IL-1 inflammatory signaling pathways.
    • Lipid Mediators (Resolvins, Protectins, Maresins): Promote tissue repair, resolve inflammation, and actively clear neutrophils.
    • Adiponectin: Enhances wound healing by reducing inflammation and promoting angiogenesis and collagen synthesis.
    • Annexin A1: Reduces inflammation, accelerates wound resolution, and promotes apoptotic cell clearance by inhibiting immune cell recruitment.
    • Heme Oxygenase-1 (HO-1): Supports tissue regeneration by reducing oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory cytokines.
    • Glucocorticoids (e.g., Cortisol): Suppress excessive inflammation, but excessive use can impair healing.
    • Interleukin-37 (IL-37): Reduces chronic inflammation, prevents tissue damage, and supports tissue repair by suppressing pro-inflammatory pathways.

    Polymeric Nanomaterials in Wound Healing

    • Chitosan Nanoparticles: Biocompatible, biodegradable, and antimicrobial; they enhance wound closure, promote collagen deposition, and have antimicrobial properties.
    • Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) Nanoparticles: Biodegradable and promote controlled drug release; support tissue regeneration and promote cell proliferation.
    • Polycaprolactone (PCL) Nanoparticles: Biocompatible, slowly biodegradable, and promote cell attachment; support cell growth and wound closure.
    • Alginate Nanoparticles: Biocompatible, hydrophilic, and gel-forming; they maintain a moist wound environment, accelerate healing, and support cell migration.
    • Collagen Nanoparticles: Biocompatible; they provide structural support, accelerate tissue regeneration, and mimic the extracellular matrix, promoting cell adhesion and proliferation.
    • Hyaluronic Acid Nanoparticles: Biodegradable, hydrophilic, and promote angiogenesis and tissue hydration; enhance tissue regeneration and hydrate the wound bed.

    Other Nanomaterials in Wound Healing

    • Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs): Antimicrobial; they disrupt bacterial cell membranes, interact with DNA, inhibit enzyme function, reduce inflammation, and encourage re-epithelialization.
    • Gold Nanoparticles (AuNPs): Reduce inflammation, promote fibroblast proliferation, and modulate immune responses; they enhance tissue regeneration, are biocompatible, and can be functionalized for targeted drug delivery.
    • Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles (ZnO NPs): Antibacterial; they promote angiogenesis, reduce bacterial infection, and enhance skin regeneration by promoting cell migration and wound closure.
    • Hydrogel Nanoparticles: Create a moist wound environment and can be loaded with drugs or bioactive molecules for controlled release; help to hydrate the wound and accelerate tissue repair.
    • Graphene Oxide Nanoparticles: Antibacterial; they support cell adhesion and proliferation and can be used as a scaffold material to promote cell migration.
    • Nanofibers (e.g., Electrospun Nanofibers): Mimic the natural extracellular matrix, support cell attachment, proliferation, and migration, and can be loaded with bioactive molecules for sustained release.
    • Liposomes: Encapsulate drugs or bioactive molecules, protect them from degradation, and allow for controlled release; they enhance localized drug delivery and improve the penetration of therapeutic agents into the wound.
