Harnessing the Therapeutic Potential of Carbon Dots for Efficient Wound Healing Management

Wound healing is associated with several factors including inflammation, immune response, redness and swelling, scar formation, chronic diseases, and clot formation. At certain stages of wound healing, extensive and intensive treatments are ineffective which limits the application of standard therapeutic methods. To address about wound healing and its high efficacy and efficiency in a short time, modern medicine has developed a nanotechnology. Nanotechnology-based approaches for wound healing are gaining attention owing to the remarkable properties of nanomaterials, such as surface coating, charge, medication delivery, sustainability, non-toxicity, and non-resistance. The use of carbon materials is a promising new initiative to successfully reduce the complexity of wound healing. Carbon materials include Carbon Dots (CDs), which have unique optical properties, such as fluorescence, photothermal, photocatalytic, biocompatibility, and non-toxicity, and structures that are smaller than 10 nm. Researchers are concentrating on the use of CDs in conjunction with drugs and biomolecules for wound care management. This review focuses on the utilization of CDs in the wound healing process with appropriate scientific validation. Therefore, this review focuses a great deal on the advancement in the carbon dot-based wound healing process.
