Polyphenols in Wound Healing presents a comprehensive exploration of how naturally occurring compounds—polyphenols—play a pivotal role in advancing wound care therapies. Divided into four thoughtfully curated sections, the book begins with an in-depth review of the science of wound healing, introducing readers to the fundamentals of skin physiology, the various types of wounds, and key therapeutic targets. Other sections delve into the world of polyphenols, offering detailed information on their natural sources, especially medicinal plants, and the techniques used for their extraction, isolation, and purification. A focus on how polyphenols act on biological pathways to support wound healing is also included.

This includes mechanisms such as reducing inflammation, combating oxidative stress, modulating matrix metalloproteinases, enhancing collagen synthesis, and promoting tissue regeneration and angiogenesis. Each chapter is backed by current research, offering mechanistic insights that bridge traditional knowledge with modern biomedical science. This structured and progressive organization ensures that all key aspects of polyphenol-based wound healing are clearly presented and easy to follow, making the book highly accessible for researchers, clinicians, and students alike.

• Presents the underlying science behind the wound healing process by highlighting wound types and their therapeutic targets
• Discusses the mechanistic insights of wound healing by Polyphenols, referencing inflammation, production of free radicals, matrix metalloproteinase, and collagen and tissue regeneration
