Natural resource based polymers, especially those derived from proteins, have attracted significant attention for their potential utilization in advanced wound care applications. Protein materials provide superior biocompatibility, biodegradability, and other functionalities compared to conventional dressings. The effectiveness of various fabrication techniques, such as electrospinning, phase separation, self-assembly, ball milling, is examined the context developing protein-based healing. These methods produce a wide range forms, including hydrogels, scaffolds, sponges, films, bioinspired nanomaterials, each designed specific types wounds different stages This review presents comprehensive analysis recent research that investigates transformation proteins into healing Our focus on essential keratin, collagen, gelatin, silk, zein, albumin, we emphasize distinct traits roles management. Protein-based show promising biomedical engineering, offering improved capabilities reduced risks infection. It crucial explore use these clinical settings while also addressing challenges may arise commercialization future.
