Niosomes are one of the prominent Novel Drug Delivery systems. Niosomes are made up of non-ionic surfactants with or without cholesterol. Primarily niosomes are similar to liposomes in terms of physical properties but differ in chemical nature. Due to their higher chemical stability of surfactants than lipids these are unsurpassed when compared with liposomes. As niosomes are amphiphilic they can be utilized as a carrier for both lipophilic, and hydrophilic drugs. The application of niosomes is widely varied and can be used to treat several diseases like cancer, leishmaniasis, Parkinson, Psoriasis disease, etc. This review focuses on all aspects of niosomes including their historical development, structural components, types, formulation techniques, factors affecting their formation, controlling the size, separation of unentrapped materials, characterization, therapeutic potentials, and stability.

Diabetic wound healing is a complicated procedure because hyperglycemia changes the various stages of wound healing. In type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), oxidative stress is proven to be a critical factor in causing non-healing wounds and aggravating the inflammatory phase, resulting in the amputation of lower limbs in T2DM patients. This makes scientists figure out how to control oxidative stress and chronic inflammation at the molecular level. Nuclear factor erythroid 2- related factor 2 (Nrf2) releases antioxidant proteins to suppress reactive oxygen species (ROS) activation and inflammation. The current review discusses the role of Nrf2 in improving diabetic wound healing by reducing the production of ROS and thus reducing oxidative stress, as well as inhibiting nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) dissociation and nuclear translocation, which prevents the release of inflammatory mediators and increases antioxidant protein levels, thereby improving diabetic wound healing. As a result, the researcher will be able to find a more effective diabetic wound healing therapy.

Wound healing is a complicated organised process that includes numerous phases that connect diverse cellular events and activate several intracellular molecular pathways in injured cells and tissues. Delay in wound healing owing to high levels of oxidative stress is a major difficulty in various metabolic illnesses, including diabetes mellitus. Several therapeutic wound dressing materials and methods, such as hyperbaric oxygen treatment and negative pressure wound therapy, have been developed to speed up wound healing and restore cellular homeostasis. A significant advance has been made in locating transcriptional regulators involved in wound healing. The redox sensitive transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is the major regulator of antioxidant defense regulation, inducing the expression of cyto-protective genes and increasing the generation of antioxidants that scavenge free radicals.Activators of Nrf2 have been shown to reduce oxidative stress and improve wound healing in a variety of pathophysiological situations, including diabetes and its consequences such as diabetic foot ulcers, chronic kidney disease, and diabetic nephropathy. Several therapeutic chemicals have been discovered to alleviate oxidative stress and consequently increase cell proliferation. Angiogenesis results in tissue healing through activating the transcription factor Nrf2. This review focuses on role of Nrf2 mediated antioxidant gene expression for diabetic wound healing.

Isoflavones are bioactive compounds and structurally related to 17-β-estradiol having mild estrogenic character also known phytoestrogen. These are available in more quantities in vegetables like green beans, soybeans, mung beans. In grains, they are available for the most part as glycosides, which are absorbed very poorly. It can behave as estrogen agonists or antagonist, by depending on the estrogenic level of endocrine, yet the action of isoflavones are complex because of numerous factors, for example, compound structures and mode of action. Though foods rich in isoflavones have become a centre of interest because of their beneficial effect on many health issues. In view of the appraisal of these illnesses by the action of isoflavones, it was fulfilled that the ability of isoflavones in the anticipation and management of different ailments generally results from their phytoestrogen antioxidant action. Isoflavones were called to as mysterious biological compounds that characteristic to forestall many major health issues. Intake of soy product has been connected to a decrease in rate or seriousness of long term illness, for example, heart disorder, breast and prostate malignancies, menopausal symptoms, bone disorder, so forth. This review discussed an overview of its health benefit on different human diseases.
