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.
