Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcer is a notable cause of amputation in diabetic patients. Multiple risk factors i.e. age, smoking, weight of patients, genetic basis, immunological disorders, neuroischemic, and neuropathic conditions contribute to diabetic foot ulcer. This review article covers both Polymer and non-polymer nanoparticles which are involved in pro healing of wounds by promoting the proliferation of fibroblast and collagen and by targeting pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Biodegradability and less toxicity of nanotechnology provide a new paradigm for the management of diabetic foot ulcer. In this review article we elaborate treatment of diabetic foot ulcer utilizing nanotechnology-based strategies which can be new promising candidates in pharmacology.
