Molecular study of wound healing after using biosynthesized BNC/Fe₃O₄ nanocomposites assisted with a bioinformatics approach.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Molecular investigation of wound healing has allowed better understanding about interaction of genes and pathways involved in healing progression.

Objectives

The aim of this study was to prepare magnetic/bacterial nanocellulose (Fe₃O₄/BNC) nanocomposite films as ecofriendly wound dressing in order to evaluate their physical, cytotoxicity and antimicrobial properties. The molecular study was carried out to evaluate expression of genes involved in healing of wounds after treatment with BNC/Fe₃O₄ films.

Study design materials and methods

Magnetic nanoparticles were biosynthesized by using Aloe vera extract in new isolated bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) RM1. The nanocomposites were characterized using X-ray diff
