Abstract
The regeneration of soft tissue is challenging task in the medicine due to infection at the wound site. Therefore, it requires a rapid regeneration scaffold for dermis and epidermis in the soft tissue. The silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) impregnated nanocollagen has been developed for soft tissue repair. The nanocollagen contained silver nanoparticles facilitate the rapid regeneration of wounded skin, when compared to collagen microfibers.
