Wound Healing

Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Medicine™ ((MIMM,volume 78))

Abstract

All wounds progress through a well-described series of events that ultimately result in healing. Cellular, biochemical, and molecular changes occur, each characterizing unique phases of the healing process. Scientists have long desired to study both the global process of healing and its individual phases or steps.
