Wound healing
Wound healing is an important physiological process to maintain the integrity of skin after trauma, either by accident or by intent procedure.
The normal wound healing involves three successive but overlapping phases, including hemostasis/inflammatory phase, proliferative phase, and
remodeling phase. Aberration of wound healing, such as excessive wound healing (hypertrophic scar and keloid) or chronic wound (ulcer)
impairs the normal physical function. A large number of sophisticated experimental studies have provided insights into wound healing. This
article highlights the information after 2010, and the main text includes (i) wound healing; (ii) wound healing in fetus and adult; (iii) prostaglandins
and wound healing; (iv) the pathogenesis of excessive wound healing; (v) the epidemiology of excessive wound healing; (vi) in vitro
and in vivo studies for excessive wound healing; (vii) stem cell therapy for excessive wound healing; and (viii) the prevention strategy for
excessive wound healing
