Abstract

Wound healing is a complex and coordinated process which involves the interaction between cells and many signaling systems. This process is basically divided into 3 phases: inflammation, proliferation and tissue remode- ling. The exact mechanism of chronic wounds remais unclear. Recent developments in molecular biology allowed the identification of many new molecules that provided new insights in chronic wound pathology and treatment. We discuss the mechanisms involved in wound healing, as well as recent developments in the field, providing a comprehensive overview on wound healing.
