Innovative Treatment Strategies to Accelerate Wound Healing

Authors from Mississippi, Oxford, present an updated and comprehensive survey of the advancements made in the field of therapeutic interventions for chronic wound healing and management. Given that the integumentary system, comprising the skin, accounts for approximately 16% of the total body weight, its pivotal role extends beyond the maintenance of homeostasis to serving as a barrier that shields the internal body from the external environment. Broadly categorized into "Conventional" and "Regenerative" modalities, skin wound therapies aim to address the intricate process of healing. Conventional approaches encompass the implementation of infection control measures through dressing changes and debridement of compromised tissues. On the other hand, regenerative wound healing harnesses the potential of emerging biomedical research technologies, intelligent wound dressings, bioactive biomaterial scaffolds, stem cell therapy, gene therapy, etc. Presently, no single treatment modality suffices for achieving complete wound resolution. For instance, nanotherapeutic-based strategies offer promising results for managing chronic wounds, as they exhibit remarkable antibacterial effects, mitigate the development of bacterial drug resistance, shorten the inflammatory phase, and expedite the overall wound healing timeline. Another option is a stem cell-based therapy, which has captivated considerable attention owing to its intrinsic characteristics, including a remarkable potential for differentiation into diverse cells.
