2. Overview of data and files
- **File List**:
Fig.1.tiff: according to (Chelminiak-Dudkiewicz et al., 2024), the study showcases a biopolymer for wound dressing using natural cross-link agents. The illustration presents the chemical structures of two natural derived compounds: one derived from cannabis (left) and another from a crab(right). These compounds are combined to create the biopolymer (CanO-VioL)CS, which is present in the center. This figure emphasizes the potential of natural sources in advancing biopolymer applications for medical use.

Fig.3.tiff: Illustration wound care enhances wound healing stages. Four stages are illustrated: haemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodelling.
Fig.4.tiff: illustrating the network map of the co-occurrence keywords concerning natural cross-link agents in biopolymers for wound dressing. As postulated by (Kirby, 2023), VOSviewer is described as an open-source software used to develop bibliometrics relations of different variables. This approach makes constructing, displaying, and navigating the bibliometric maps easier (Han et al., 2011).
