Wound healing is a complex homeostatic response to injury that engages numerous cellular activities, processes, and cell-to-cell interactions. The complement system, an intricate network of proteins with important roles in immune surveillance and homeostasis, has been implicated in many physiological processes; however, its role in wound healing remains largely unexplored. In this study, we emp...

Aims Pilates is a sport that may play a role in reducing pain and healing burns faster like other sports, but these effects have not been investigated in a study.  Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of Pilates exercise on pain control and wound healing among patients with second-degree burns. Materials & Methods The present study is a randomized clinical trial study one in w...

The aim of the study was to determine the effects of wound, patient and treatment attributes on wound healing rate and to propose a system for wound healing rate prediction. Predicting the wound healing rate from initial wound, patient and treatment data collected in our database of 300 chronic wounds was not possible. After considering weekly follow-ups, we determined that the best prognostic ...

Objectives: If wound assessment instruments are to be used in the periodic assessment of wound healing, they must prove to be valid, reliable and sensitive measures of wound healing. Thus, this systematic literature review aims to examine available wound healing instruments in terms of these parameters. Method: Only instruments able to measure changes in wound healing were included in this revi...

conclusions this study indicated that the optimization of gene transfer increases the expression of igf-1. high concentrations of igf-1, in combination with cell therapy, have a significant effect on wound healing. results in vitro, the maximum expression of igf1 (96.95 pg/ml) in transfected fibroblast cells was 24 hours after gene transfer. in vivo, it was clear that igf-1 gene therapy caused ...

The skin is densely innervated with an intricate network of cutaneous nerves, neuromediators and specific receptors which influence a variety of physiological and disease processes. There is emerging evidence that cutaneous innervation may play an important role in mediating wound healing. This review aims to comprehensively examine the evidence that signifies the role of innervation during the...

Although it is well known that wound healing proceeds incredibly quickly in urodele amphibians, such as newts and salamanders, little is known about skin-wound healing, and no bioactive/effector substance that contributes to wound healing has been identified from these animals. As a step toward understanding salamander wound healing and skin regeneration, a potential wound-healing-promoting pep...

Wound healing occupies a remarkable place in everyday pathology and remains a challenging clinical problem. In our previous study, we prepared a silver nanoparticle/chitosan oligosaccharide/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA/COS-AgNPs) nanofiber via electrospinning and revealed that it could promote wound healing; however, the healing mechanism remained unknown. Therefore, we aimed to clarify the mechani...

Bone marrow stem cells participate in tissue repair processes and may have roles in skin wound repair. Diabetes is characterized by delayed and poor wound healing, and type 1 diabetes seems to lead to stem cell dysfunction. Hence, stem cell dysfunction could contribute to poor healing, and stem cell–based therapies may be efficacious in diabetic wounds. We investigated the potential of exogenou...

Wound healing requires a complex interaction and coordination of different cells and molecules. Any alteration in these highly coordinated events can lead to either delayed or excessive healing. This review provides an overview of adult wound healing physiology. A review of the literature focused on wound healing physiology and current advances in wound healing was conducted using the online ME...
