Abstract
Biopolymer-based nano drug delivery systems are an emerging and promising strategy for addressing the challenges of cancer treatment and wound healing. These natural nanocarriers are like alginate, chitosan, gelatin, and hyaluronic acid. These nanosystems offer biocompatibility, biodegradability, and reduced toxicity of the therapeutics. The nanoparticles can be loaded with growth factors, which accelerate tissue These provide targeted delivery sites and also modulate the microenvironment of the tissue by sustained drug release and reducing the damage to healthy tissues, thus promoting cancer treatment and wound tissue regeneration in a synergistic manner. Drug delivery system (DDS) technology includes a variety of approaches such as liposomes, nanofibers, and inorganic and lipid nanoparticles. The focus of this chapter is to provide the recent developments in biopolymer-based strategies and their applications for the future prospects for clinical implementation.
