Article Synopsis
  • Skin delivery is a promising method for drug administration, offering benefits like controlled release and adaptability, but faces challenges due to low skin permeability.
  • Overcoming the skin barrier can be addressed through innovative approaches, such as lipid nanosystems, which are cost-effective and stable.
  • The review discusses skin structure, nanoparticle penetration pathways, influential factors for effective delivery, and the regulatory aspects of using lipid nanosystems for dermal and transdermal applications.

Wounds are a consequence of disruption in the structure, integrity, or function of the skin or tissue. Once a wound is formed following mechanical or chemical damage, the process of wound healing is initiated, which involves a series of chemical signaling and cellular mechanisms that lead to regeneration and/or repair. Disruption in the healing process may result in complications; therefore, interventions to accelerate wound healing are essential.
