Chitosan-based electrospun nanofibers for diabetic foot ulcer management; recent advances
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article Review)Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) healing has long been a major medical challenge. The type of dressing is an essential factor in wound healing, prevention of local infection, and scar formation. Today, smart wound dressings or ... -
Electrospun chitosan membranes containing bioactive and therapeutic agents for enhanced wound healing
( Elsevier B.V. , 2020 , Article)Electrospinning is one of the most promising techniques for generating porous, nonwoven, and submicron fiber-based membranes for various applications such as catalysis, sensing, tissue engineering and wound healing. Wide ... -
Natural halloysite nanotubes /chitosan based bio-nanocomposite for delivering norfloxacin, an anti-microbial agent in sustained release manner
( Elsevier B.V. , 2020 , Article)Applying nanotechnology to deliver drug could result in several benefits such as prolong duration of action, enhancement in overall bioavailability, targeting to specific site, low initial loading dose require, systemic ... -
Nitric oxide releasing chitosan-poly (vinyl alcohol) hydrogel promotes angiogenesis in chick embryo model
( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Article)The lack of angiogenic activity is one of the serious complications of chronic wounds associated with delayed wound closure, chronic ulceration, and subsequent limb amputation. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that nitric ... -
Novel electrospun chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol/zinc oxide nanofibrous mats with antibacterial and antioxidant properties for diabetic wound healing
( Elsevier B.V. , 2018 , Article)Non-healing wound is a serious complication of diabetes, associated with extremely slow wound closure, and a high rate of infection, resulting in amputation or losses of limbs, high health care cost and poor quality of ... -
Oleic acid-grafted chitosan/graphene oxide composite coating for corrosion protection of carbon steel
( Elsevier Ltd , 2016 , Article)An anticorrosion coating film based on the formation of nanocomposite coating is reported in this study. The composite consisted of chitosan (green matrix), oleic acid, and graphene oxide (nano filler). The nanocomposite ... -
Silver nanoparticle impregnated chitosan-PEG hydrogel enhances wound healing in diabetes induced rabbits
( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Article)Non-healing wounds are among the serious complications of type-2-diabetes around the globe, associated with high incidence of bacterial infection, chronic nerve and blood vessel damage, and eventually repeated amputation ...
