Integration of traditional medicinal plants with polymeric nanofibers for wound healing

Abstract

Chronic wounds pose a significant healthcare challenge, necessitating innovative approaches for improved healing. Traditional medicinal plants have long been used for wound care, and recent advancements in nanotechnology offer new possibilities for enhancing their therapeutic effects. Electrospun nanofibers provide an efficient drug delivery system, improving the bioavailability and stability of bioactive compounds. This review explores the integration of phytochemical-loaded nanofibers for wound healing, highlighting their potential in treating various wounds, including burns, diabetic ulcers, and surgical wounds. Additionally, it discusses the medicinal value of traditional plants, their role in wound care, and the future prospects of combining nanotechnology with artificial intelligence for personalized treatment.
