Abstract

This review explores the transformative potential of biomimetic nanomaterials in the realm of advanced wound management, focusing on their application in promoting healing of wound while preventing infections and/or real-time monitoring healing process. The intricate design of biomimetic nanomaterials allows for the targeted delivery of therapeutic agents, modulation of inflammatory responses, and promotion of tissue regeneration within the wound microenvironment. Despite their promising benefits, challenges such as complex design requirements, scalability issues, and long-term safety concerns need to be addressed to maximize the clinical utility of these innovative materials. By overcoming these challenges through interdisciplinary collaboration and technological advancements, the integration of biomimetic nanomaterials in wound management offers a promising avenue for personalized, efficient, and effective treatment strategies. Looking ahead, the future perspectives of biomimetic nanomaterials in advanced wound management hold immense potential for developing the field of wound care. By harnessing the regenerative properties, infection prevention capabilities, and smart real-time monitoring functionalities of biomimetic nanomaterials, healthcare providers can deliver tailor-made solutions that address the unique needs of individual patients and optimize healing outcomes. This review aims to provide insights into the challenges, opportunities, and future directions of utilizing biomimetic nanomaterials for advanced wound management, shedding light on the transformative impact of these innovative materials in improving patient well-being and redefining the standards of care in wound healing practices. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd
