Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Secondary to a tissue injury, various biological pathways are activated locally and systemically to promote wound healing, considered one of the most complex and dynamic biological processes in the human body. Some diseases and deficiencies or severe local trauma (diabetes, chronic kidney disease, autoimmune diseases, burns, major surgery) impairs tissue healing, leading to atrophic or hypertrophic scarring, wound dehiscence, high risk of local infection, and the development of chronic wounds.
Over the years, many aspects of the wound-healing process have been studied, like the crucial role of fibroblasts and cutaneous macrophages, the influence of oxidative stress and specific pathways to control it, wound homeostasis perturbances, and the development of a proper microvascular network at the wound site. Recent research analyses of the role of immunomodulation have uncovered the new role of different wound dressings, antimicrobial particles, or adipose-derived stem cells in promoting proper wound healing and reducing the risk of improper scarring and chronic wound development.
This Special Issue aims to emphasize the importance of controlling the wound to improve the healing process and to prevent scar formation, to promote research in this field, and to permit the exchange of experiences among specialists. All types of papers regarding this topic can be submitted.
