Wound healing is vital for restoring tissue integrity but is often complicated by chronic conditions and infections. Traditional treatment methods frequently fail to provide effective outcomes. However, advancements in regenerative medicine and nanotechnology offer promising opportunities to enhance wound care. In particular, nanoparticles and carrier-free nanodrugs have emerged as effective solutions for improving healing rates and preventing infections.

This Research Topic aims to explore innovative strategies in wound treatment by examining how new technologies can significantly improve healing processes. We are particularly interested in integrating insights from various fields to foster collaboration and uncover new pathways for effective therapies.

We welcome high-quality manuscripts contributing to the advancement of research in the following areas:

Nanoparticle Therapies: Exploration of diverse nanoparticles and their roles in promoting healing and infection prevention.

Hydrogel and Nanofiber Applications: Investigation into the use of hydrogels and nanofibers as foundational materials to enhance wound care.

Photothermal Therapy: Assessment of the effectiveness of photothermal treatments in enhancing wound recovery.

Carrier-Free Nanodrugs: Evaluation of innovative drug delivery systems that improve bioavailability and combat antibiotic resistance.

We anticipate that this research topic will yield a collection of peer-reviewed articles that advance our understanding of wound treatment strategies. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, we aim to highlight essential research gaps and guide future studies in this critical field.

The growing incidence of chronic wounds emphasizes the urgent need for innovative treatment solutions. By leveraging nanoparticles, hydrogels, nanofibers, and advanced therapeutic methodologies, we can transform wound management practices. We welcome researchers to share their insights and findings to contribute to this vital area of research.

This Research Topic welcomes various article types including Original Research, Review, Mini Review, and Perspective pieces.
We are particularly interested in featuring Traditional Chinese Medicine or Herbal Medicine approaches to burn treatment, and we warmly welcome submissions in this area. Studies need to comply with the best practice guidelines of the section if plant or fungal extracts or other complex mixtures are investigated including the Four Pillars of Best Practice in Ethnopharmacology. A detailed description of the material studied, its extraction, and processing is essential. You can freely download the full version here.
