Abstract:The sequence of biochemical and cellular responses restoring the integrity of the subcutaneous tissue
of the skin is termed as wound healing. Inflammatory cytokine suppression and inflammatory transduction cascades
are the major targets for wound healing. Formulations for wound healing should promote neovascularization
and angiogenic pathways by increasing the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor, fibroblast
growth factor, and platelet-derived growth factor. Medication used for wound healing promotes antiinflammatory
associated with anti-bacterial action. In order to boost the effectiveness of current medical treatments,
the cutting-edge nanotechnology offers many novel therapies. This review summarized and discussed
wound healing, types of wounds, natural materials used for wound healing, metallic nanoparticles and current
nano drug delivery systems used for wound healing with special emphasis on the angiogenesis role in the healing
of wounds.
