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...

Wound healing remains a challenging clinical problem and correct, efficient wound management is essential. Much effort has been focused on wound care with an emphasis on new therapeutic approaches and the development of technologies for acute and chronic wound management. Wound healing...
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...
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...
[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 and somatosensory potentials ...
Adversity and the Stress Response When confronted with an acute adverse stressor, the body releases adrenaline, triggering the fight or flight response. Cortisol, a stress hormone, is also released, helping to mobilize the body’s energy stores, activate the immune system, and even briefly enhance...
hydrocolloids can absorb minimal to moderate amounts of drainage and are suitable for partial- or full-thickness acute and chronic wounds. As they are occlusive, hydrocolloid dressings do not allow water, oxygen, or bacteria into the wound. This may help facilitate angiogenesis and granulation. Hyd...
