The use of molecular biology in evaluating human wound healing

In the last 3 decades there has been an enormous surge in basic scientific understanding of how biological systems work following key technical advances. For example, although the basis of the genetic code in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was described by Watson & Crick in 1953, it took 2 more decades before scientists could begin to make sense of the long stretches of DNA which make up the human genome.
