In vitro evaluation of silver-zinc oxide-eugenol nanocomposite for enhanced antimicrobial and wound healing applications in diabetic conditions by Hari Prasath Nagaiah, Malik Basha Samsudeen, Akshaya Rani Augustus, Karutha Pandian Shunmugiah

“…In vitro scratch assays using human keratinocyte cells demonstrated that the Ag+ZnO+EU nanocomposite significantly accelerated wound closure, with near-complete healing observed within 24-h, indicating enhanced cell migration and tissue regeneration. Additionally, the nanocomposite showed potential antidiabetic effects by increasing glucose uptake up to 97.21% in an in vitro assay using 2-[N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl) amino]-2-deoxy-D-glucose, a fluorescent glucose analog, suggesting potential applications beyond wound healing. …”
