Hypertrophic scar (HS) considerably affects the appearance and causes tissue dysfunction in patients. The low bioavailability of 5-fluorouracil poses a challenge for HS treatment. Here we show a separating microneedle (MN) consisting of photo-crosslinked
but this is incorrect. The excess connective tissue formed in hypertrophic scarring remains within the original incision. However, the excess connective tissue formed in the keloid expands beyond the original lesion. The diagnosis is usually made clinically. However, if a hypertrophic scar...
Fibroblasts, the primary mesenchymal cell type in skin dermis, play a key role in synthesizing collagens and elastic fibers within the extracellular matrix in connective tissue and during wound healing. Their pivotal involvement spans all stages of wound healing as well as the subsequent formation ...
A keloid is an overgrowth of scar tissue that occurs at the site of a skin injury or inflammation e.g. surgery, burn, acne and chickenpox infection. It typically appears as a raised reddish growth that grows beyond the size of the original injury. It may sometimes be irregular in shape ...
