2 Typically, acute wound healing is a well- organized process leading to predictable tissue repair where platelets, keratinocytes, immune surveillance cells, microvascular cells, and fibroblasts play key roles in the restoration of tissue integrity. PHASES OF NORMAL WOUND HEALINGAcute wounds are a common health problem, with 1. This article reviews the latest insights and opportunities for wound repair science and innovations in wound care. This progress has led to significant improvement in the quality of life of affected patients.
In recent decades, clinicians have gained a better understanding of the mechanisms of normal wound repair process and causes of delays in healing. Keywords: acute wound healing, drug delivery and wounds, wound care strategies.Īcute and chronic wounds affect millions of people in the United States and around the world. Importantly, biological similarities and differences between acute and chronic wounds are considered, including the signaling pathways that initiate cellular and tissue responses after injury, which may be impeded during chronic wound healing. Part 1 discusses the latest advances in clinicians’ understanding of the control points that regulate wound healing. This is the first installment of 2 articles that discuss the biology and pathophysiology of wound healing, review the role that growth factors play in this process, and describe current ways of growth factor delivery into the wound bed.
