Abstract:
Diabetes is known as one of the most important widespread diseases in the world. Diabetic ulcer is one of the main complications associated with this disease. The use of the capabilities of modern science such as nanotechnology can be effective in developing new strategies for treating diabetic ulcers. Regulating homeostasis, controlling infections, and the ability to regenerate/ heal are some of the proposed mechanisms of nanomaterials in wound healing. In this regard, cuprorivaite bioceramic, as a bioceramic containing copper nanoparticles with effects on angiogenic factors and infection control, can effectively be used in the healing of diabetic ulcers. In this prospective article, we have presented the potential of this bioceramic in the design of new dressings for diabetic wound healing.
