Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) hold great potential for the stem cell-based therapy of cutaneous wound healing. Stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) activates CXC chemokine receptor (CXCR)4+ and CXCR7+ cells and plays an important role in wound healing. Increasing evidence suggests a critical role for SDF-1 in cell apoptosis and the survival of mesenchymal stem cells. However, the f...

Wound healing is a highly coordinated and complex process involving various cell types, chemical mediators and the surrounding extracellular matrix, resulting in a tightly orchestrated re-establishment of tissue integrity by specific cytokines. It consists of various dynamic processes including a series of overlapping phases: inflammation, proliferation, re-epithelialization and remodeling. One...

in the present investigation, methanolic extract of mimusops elengi  leaves were evaluated for wound healing activity. entire wound healing process is complex series of events that begins at the moment of injury and can continue for months to years. methanolic extract of mimusops elengi leaves were examined for wound healing activity in the form of ointment by the excision, the incision and dea...

Objective(s) Clinicians have long been searching for ways to obtain "super normal" wound healing. Zinc supplementation improves the healing of open wounds. Honey can improve the wound healing with its antibacterial properties. Giving supplemental zinc to normal rats can increase the wound tensile strength. This work is to study the concurrent effects of zinc and honey in wound healing of norma...

Chronic wound healing is an intricate process where tissue, often the epidermis, repairs itself after injury. Wound care technologies that accelerate the healing process are an emerging area of translational research for patients in the health care system as well as war fighters in field services. Accelerated wound healing refers to the efforts made, intrinsically or anthropogenically, to reduc...
