    Study Notes

    Growth Factors in Wound Healing

    • Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) enhances re-epithelialization, accelerates wound closure, and promotes tissue regeneration.
    • Transforming Growth Factor-Beta (TGF-β) controls scar tissue formation, regulates inflammation, and promotes extracellular matrix deposition.
    • Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) enhances granulation tissue formation, angiogenesis, and wound contraction.
    • Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) supports vascularization and formation of granulation tissue.
    • Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) stimulates fibroblast proliferation and angiogenesis, promoting granulation tissue formation.
    • Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) facilitates re-epithelialization and granulation tissue formation.
    • Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF) enhances re-epithelialization and skin barrier restoration.
    • Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor promotes wound debridement and angiogenesis by enhancing immune response.

    Polymeric Nanomaterials in Wound Healing

    • Chitosan nanoparticles are biodegradable, biocompatible, antimicrobial, and promote cell proliferation.
    • Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles are biodegradable, enable controlled drug release, and promote cell regeneration.
    • Polycaprolactone (PCL) nanoparticles are biocompatible, slowly biodegradable, and promote cell attachment.
    • Alginate nanoparticles are biocompatible, hydrophilic, and form gels, which are excellent for moisture retention.
    • Collagen nanoparticles are biocompatible, promote cell adhesion and proliferation, and mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM).
    • Hyaluronic Acid nanoparticles are biodegradable, hydrophilic, and promote angiogenesis and tissue hydration.

    Stages of Wound Healing

    • Hemostasis is the immediate response, stopping bleeding. This involves blood vessel constriction and platelet aggregation to form a clot.
    • Inflammation (first few days) is the cleaning phase, involving immune cells to remove debris and pathogens.
    • Proliferation (several days to weeks) is the rebuilding phase, where fibroblasts produce collagen, angiogenesis occurs, and re-epithelialization takes place.
    • Remodeling (weeks to months) is the strengthening and maturing phase, involving collagen reorganization and wound contraction.

    Factors Affecting Wound Healing

    • Growth Factors: stimulate cell growth, proliferation, and tissue repair.
    • Inflammatory Response: A balanced immune response is essential for efficient wound healing.
    • Nutritional Status: Adequate protein, vitamins, and minerals are needed for collagen synthesis and cell proliferation.
    • Infection: Delays healing by prolonging inflammation and tissue damage.

    Applications of Nanotechnology and Biomaterials in Wound Healing

    • Polymeric nanomaterials provide controlled, localized drug delivery for enhanced wound healing.
    • Growth factor delivery systems accelerate tissue repair and promote faster healing.
    • Bioactive wound dressings help reduce infection.

    Types of Nanomaterials Used in Wound Healing

    • Silver nanoparticles: antimicrobial
    • Gold nanoparticles: anti-inflammatory and promote cell proliferation
    • Zinc oxide nanoparticles: antibacterial and promote angiogenesis
    • Chitosan nanoparticles: antimicrobial and enhance wound closure
    • Silica nanoparticles: provide structural support and drug delivery
    • Carbon nanotubes (CNTs): promote tissue regeneration and drug delivery
    • Copper nanoparticles: antibacterial and promote collagen synthesis
    • Cerium oxide nanoparticles: antioxidant and reduce oxidative stress
    • Hydrogel nanoparticles: moisture retention and drug delivery
    • Graphene oxide nanoparticles: antibacterial and support cell adhesion
    • Nanofibers (e.g., electrospun): create wound scaffolds and support cell migration
    • Liposomes: encapsulate drugs for controlled release
    • Polymeric nanoparticles: drug delivery and anti-inflammatory properties
