| Abstract Scope |
Wound healing and skin regeneration are complex processes crucial for human health, and silk biomaterials have emerged as promising tools in these fields. This article explores recent research, challenges, and prospects in the use of silk-based solutions for wound healing and regenerative medicine. Recent studies highlight silk biomaterials' potential in promoting wound healing and skin regeneration through materials like hydrogels, dressings, and artificial skin grafts. Silk's unique ability to modulate immune responses balances inflammation and tissue repair, making it invaluable in wound care. However, challenges such as regulatory compliance, infection management, and immunomodulation must be addressed. Bridging the gap between research and clinical application demands rigorous testing and personalized wound care approaches. The future of silk biomaterials in wound healing holds promise, with innovations like advanced formulations, bioactive additives and immunomodulation on the horizon. Regulatory streamlining will make silk-based solutions globally accessible, revolutionizing wound care and advancing regenerative medicine. |
