Fumaria officinalis-loaded chitosan nanoparticles dispersed in an alginate hydrogel promote diabetic wounds healing by upregulating VEGF, TGF-β, and b-FGF genes: A preclinical investigation.
Researchers developed a wound dressing using fumaria officinalis extract-loaded chitosan nanoparticles in a hydrogel. In vitro and in vivo studies showed it promoted cell viability, migration, and wound healing potential comparable to a marketed product. This research suggests potential use in diabetic wound treatment.
