Abstract
In current scenario, wound healing involves the use of nanobiomaterials from natural and synthetic sources. Nanobiomaterials have emerged as an effective therapy for wound healing due to their safety, biodegradability, and compatibility. Recent advances in wound healing therapy involve the development of split and complete thickness skin alternatives to mimic the natural functioning of the skin. These engineered skin alternatives have managed well currently using different engineering technologies. In the case of a drug delivery system for the treatment of wound healing, several nanocarrier-based drug delivery systems have been studied by various researchers. These include nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, and lipid-based drug delivery systems. The lipid-based drug delivery systems include liposomes, nanostructured lipid carriers, and solid lipid nanoparticles. This book chapter further discusses the various biomaterials used for wound healing, advanced drug delivery systems for wound healing, and recent advances in wound healing therapy. The future prospective for wound healing involves portable bioprinters, electro sprayers, in situ 3D printing, and in situ hydrogels.
