Highlights

  • Angiogenesis is the growth of blood vessels from the existing vasculature that occurs during embryonic development, wound healing, and the menstruation cycle

  • Result: In our study, we observed that CuNPs solutions caused a significant increase in angiogenesis when compared with the control group

  • The study of Dragostin et al shows that chitosan nanoparticles have an anti-angiogenic effect

Summary

Introduction

Angiogenesis is the growth of blood vessels from the existing vasculature [1] that occurs during embryonic development, wound healing, and the menstruation cycle. Chitosan is a natural cationic polysaccharide and one of the natural polymers and obtained by deacetylation of α-chitin [3,4]. It has been included in studies that chitosan molecule is an effective transportation tool for reaching the related target with the pharmaceutical properties of various drugs [5]. Chitosan-based nanoparticles have major effects such as anti-cancer, antibacterial, anti-angiogenesis. It was demonstrated that chitosan nanoparticles suppress lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory cascade, which is prominent in Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis [6]. It is known in the literature that chitosan has a procoagulant effect. Nanotoxicity study of chitosan nanoparticles was done in animal models. As a result of these studies, chitosan nanoparticles showed good biosafety [7]
