This systematic review examines bioactive compounds from endophytic fungi that improve wound healing, suggesting new therapeutic avenues.

The aim is to evaluate the wound-healing properties of bioactive compounds produced by endophytic fungi.
Conducted a systematic review of scientific literature on endophytic fungi and wound healing.
Screened 994 works, resulting in 24 relevant studies analyzed for in vitro and in vivo assays.
Identified key metabolites associated with wound healing from endophytic fungi.
All studies showed that extracts from endophytic fungi exhibit properties that aid wound healing.
A variety of metabolites were identified, including melanin, terpenes, and polysaccharides.
High heterogeneity among methodologies prevented conducting a meta-analysis.

Guimarães et al. (2026) studied this question.
