Oral Administration of Liposomal Resveratrol for Wound Healing in a Zebrafish Model.

Abstract

Wound healing research has advanced through nanotechnology-based delivery systems that enhance the stability and therapeutic potential of bioactive compounds. Resveratrol, a natural polyphenol with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, shows promise for wound healing but is limited by poor bioavailability. This study investigates the efficacy of nano-liposome-encapsulated resveratrol in enhancing skin wound repair in adult zebrafish (). Using a laser-based ablation method, precise full-thickness skin wounds were induced and monitored over 50 days. Resveratrol-loaded liposomes were prepared and orally administered via gavage to facilitate systemic exposure. Compared to the control and blank liposome groups, resveratrol liposome treatment significantly accelerated wound closure, achieving earlier healing milestones (25%, 50%, and 75%). The zebrafish model provided a regenerative platform for real-time evaluation of nanomedicine-based therapies. This study demonstrates the wound healing effects of resveratrol and liposomal encapsulation, offering a targeted, systemically administered strategy for advanced systemic healing and highlighting zebrafish as a valuable model for preclinical regenerative medicine research.
