Chronic Wounds: An Overview of Wound Healing and Experimental Models for Wound StudiesWound management remains a significant healthcare burden worldwide. The search is ongoing for new treatment options for infected and hard-to-heal wounds. Testing for these new therapeutics requires the establishment ...
Skin, being the largest organ of the human body, is the first immune barrier against external damage and invasion [1]. As a result, it is also one of the most frequently injured organs in the body [2]. There are two types of skin wounds: acute wounds and chronic wounds. Acute wounds...
By targeting the wound from different aspects provided by the wound-care team, acute and chronic wounds can be better managed, leading to a quicker resolution of the wound.

Within human acute and chronic wounds an age-related increased in the number of mature macrophages has been reported (Ashcroft, Horan, & Ferguson 1998; Loots et al. 1998), which may seem counter-intuitive since macrophages are crucial for a successful wound healing response. Similar findings ...
In the ever-changing world of wound care and nursing, it remains apparent that chronic wounds are a growing challenge. Evidence shows that age increases the likelihood of developing a chronic wound, which supports the notion that the burden of these wounds on the NHS is likely to further inten...
In a recent clinical trial [112] bone marrow cells were delivered to patients with acute and chronic SCI intravenously or via vertebral artery. The study demonstrated the safety of the procedure. Partial improvement in the ASIA score and partial recovery of electrophysiological recordings of motor ...

Another form ofAspergillusinfection has an expanded domain from chronic noninvasive or invasive indolent disease to acute necrotizing invasive disease occurring mainly in an immune suppressed patient, as can be seen with sinonasal fungal rhinosinusitis20. Other types ofAspergillus sinusitisare found to oc...
MMPs and TIMPsxPromote ECM degradation (MMPs) and deposition (TIMPs) during wound healing, present in acute and chronic wounds, correct regulation necessary for wound resolution[71]. ADMxAccelerates wound healing by promoting angiogenesis, collagen deposition and remodeling. Treatment shortened wound clo...
