Abstract
Though wound care has advanced, treating chronic wounds remains a challenge and there are many clinical issues that must be addressed. Gene therapy is a recent approach to treating chronic wounds that remains in its developmental stage. The limited reports available describe the therapeutic applications of various forms of nucleic acid delivery for treating chronic wounds, including DNA, mRNA, siRNA, miRNA and so on. Though these bioactive molecules represent great therapeutic potential, sustaining their bioactivity in the wound bed is a challenge. To overcome this hurdle, delivery systems are also being widely investigated. In this review, nucleic acid-based therapy and its delivery for treating chronic wounds is discussed in detail.
