Resumen

Las heridas crónicas, sobre todo en pacientes diabéticos, afectan gravemente a la calidad de vida. La nanomedicina catalítica ofrece esperanza diseñando bionanocatalizadores, nanoestructuras que dañan selectivamente los ácidos nucleicos. Estas nanoestructuras destacan en desinfección, dañando microorganismos y preservando al mismo tiempo el tejido sano. Se han utilizado para la cicatrización de heridas crónicas, y este estudio explora sus mecanismos y su potencial en la regeneración de tejidos. El artículo subraya su importancia en la desinfección de amplio espectro, incluso contra las biopelículas. Aporta contexto comparando la regulación de la glucosa en estados sanos y diabéticos, centrándose en la patología del pie diabético. Por último, destaca un caso de éxito de herida crónica diabética tratada con nanomedicina catalítica para demostrar su eficacia en la promoción de la cicatrización de heridas.
