Recent advances and future prospects in topical creams from medicinal plants to expedite wound healing: a review
Wound healing is a complex process driven by a series of stages that require a suitable wound closure environment, attributable to many factors. However, several factors contribute to delay in healing processes, including infection and the presence of certain diseases. Under unfortunate circumstance...
