Abstract

ZnO nanoparticles are well known for their ability to generate Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) which have a potential role in biological systems. ROS can enhance wound healing by improved cell adhesion and cell migration through growth factor mediated pathways. Here we report the fabrication of electr...
