Scarless wound healing; reduced local oxidative stress

[55]

Dextran based bionanocomposite membranes

Clove oil (CO) and sandalwood oil (SO)

Mouse full-thickness skin wound model

Scarless wound healing; proper collagen formation and organization, and presence of hair follicles

[56]

Sulphonated polyether ether ketone (SPEEK) nanofibrous scaffold

Aloe vera

Rat excision skin wound model

Scarless wound healing; excellent pathogenic inhibition

[57]

Amniotic membrane (AM)/SF membrane

Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells

Mouse third degree burn wound model

[59]

Silver-catechin nanocomposite tethered collagen scaffolds

Silver-catechin nanocomposite

Rat full-thickness skin wound model

Scarless wound healing; increased angiogenesis

[60]
