Neurotropic viral infections pose a significant challenge due to their ability to target the central nervous system and cause severe neurological complications. Traditional antiviral therapies face limitations in effectively treating these infections, primarily due to the blood‐brain barrier, which restricts the delivery of therapeutic agents to the central nervous system. Nanoparticle‐based therapies have emerged as a promising approach to overcome these challenges. Nanoparticles offer unique properties that facilitate drug delivery across biological barriers, such as the blood‐brain barrier, and can be engineered to possess antiviral activities.

Burns usually result in damage and loss of skin forming irregular wound wounds. The lack of skin tissue protection makes the wound site highly vulnerable to bacterial infections, hindering the healing process. However, commonly used wound dressings do not readily provide complete coverage of irregular wounds compared to regular wounds. Therefore, there is an urgent need to prepare a wound dressing with high antimicrobial efficacy for the administration of drugs to irregular wounds. In this study, a chitosan (CS)/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) composite nanofiber membrane (CS/PVP/Phlorizin) loaded with root bark glycosides (Phlorizin) was developed using an electrostatic spinning technique. The incorporation of phlorizin, a natural antioxidant, into the fiber membranes notably boosted their antimicrobial and antioxidant capabilities, along with demonstrating excellent hydrophilic characteristics. In vitro cellular experiments showed that CS/PVP/Phlorizin increased Hacat cell viability with the presence of better cytocompatibility. In scald wound healing experiments, Phlorizin-loaded nanofibrous membranes significantly promoted re-epithelialization and angiogenesis at the wound site, and reduced the inflammatory response at the wound site. Therefore, the above results indicate that this nanofiber membrane is expected to be an ideal dressing for burn wounds.

... Abscisic acid, as a natural plant hormone existing in a variety of plant and animal tissues, has significant pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory effects, which can alleviate the occurrence and development of various diseases [30,[174][175][176][177][178]. In addition, studies have shown that ABA can improve and delay aging by enhancing antioxidant activity, anti-apoptosis, and regulating intestinal flora [179]. ...

... Insulin hydrogel dressing showed therapeutic effects in diabetic in vivo model with complete thickness wounds by reducing the duration of inflammation, promoting tissue granulation, encouraging the adhesion of collagen, hastening in neovascularization and epithelialization and possibly improving peripheral neuropathy. Hence, the insulin hydrogel has promising potential in wound dressings for improving DFU [74,75]. ...

... [87,125] For example, shikonin encapsulated with liposome exerts a highly effective antibacterial activity against MRSA and enhances the healing power of infected burn wounds via disrupting the cell membrane integrity and physiological conditions of S. aureus. [126] In a recent study it is reported that shikonin loaded with sodium alginate/polyvinyl alcohol nanofibers (SPS) potently heals the wound in in-vitro and in-vivo diabetic models. The underlying mechanism is this SPS lowers the inflammation, enhances the deposition of collagen, and suppresses the signaling axis of IκBα/NF-κB and upsurges the expression of growth factors that helps in wound healing of diabetic models. ...

... Among the numerous materials employed in the eld of drug delivery, hydrogels have attracted considerable attention owing to their biodegradability, biocompatibility, and non-toxicity. 1 The pH value of the human body tends to vary in different tissues and organs. For example, the stomach presents an acidic environment, while the pH of the intestine is close to neutral. 2 Some responsive hydrogels can respond to changes in pH, temperature, and ions, 3,4 and precisely, this property can be exploited to design an acid-sensitive hydrogel so that the drug it carries will be released most in the therapeutic site, thus exerting therapeutic effects. ...

... The most employed compound with calcium hydroxyapatite was chitosan [2,12,19,32,35,36], a polymer that stimulates wound healing and improves hemostasis by promoting collagen synthesis by fibroblasts (Figure 4). This substance, with anti-hemorrhagic and antimicrobial properties [54][55][56], increases the stability of the growth factor in grafts. The combination of chitosan and hydroxyapatite appears promising but requires more long-term clinical studies to validate its efficacy and safety [57] (Figure 4). ...

... The DPPH results show that GGNPs have significant (p < 0.05) free radical neutralization capacity compared to GG, suggesting improved antioxidant defences and potential benefits for diabetic wound healing [12,50]. This enhanced activity is likely due to the hydroxyl groups in guar gum and the increased surface area of nanoparticles [46,47,[51][52][53][54]. The ABTS assay results confirm that GGNPs are more effective at scavenging ABTS radicals than GG, likely due to hydroxyl groups donating hydrogen atoms to ABTS radicals, enhancing antioxidant defences and aiding diabetic wound healing [55][56][57][58][59]. ...
