The Role of Tgf-B Smart Dressing in Wound Healing

The global increase in skin ulcers imposes a great health and financial burden on patients and society. Although, the use of traditional wound dressings contributes to an effective result in wound healing, however, the complexity of the healing process remains a major health challenge. Recent advances in materials and manufacturing technologies have led to the creation of dressings that provide favorable conditions for effective wound healing. Using smart wound dressings is a new method in wound management. As is clear from their name, smart wound dressings are wound dressings that can interact with the wound and use sensors placed inside them or smart materials such as stimuli-responsive materials and self-healing materials. Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) as a multifunctional protein plays a key role in the wound healing process. A balance in TGF-β levels is essential for proper wound healing. This article examines the role of TGF-β in wound healing and its potential as a target for novel therapies in chronic and inflammatory wounds
