Mathematical modelling of nitric oxide activity in wound healing can explain keloid and hypertrophic scarring.
Keloid and hypertrophic lesions are both types of scarring pathologies which arise as a consequence of excess collagen deposition during the wound healing process. The exact mechanism by which this occurs is not understood and currently no effective treatment exists. In this paper, we study the possible role of nitric oxide in excess scar formation. In recent years, the physiological role of th...

Keloids are locally aggressive scars that typically invade into healthy surrounding skin and cause both physical and psychosocial distress to the patient. These pathological scars occur following minimal skin trauma after a variety of causes including burns and trauma.

متن کاملUnravelling the mysteries of collagen and cicatrix after myocardial infarction.
In fictional murder mysteries the person responsible for the crime is often the one least likely to be involved. In contrast, in real life, the culprit is usually the most obvious candidate right from the start. In this particular case, the myocardial collagen matrix is the suspect (and as I shall illustrate, a likely culprit) responsible for at least some of the complications that occur after ...
