Healing Mechanisms in Cutaneous Wounds: Tipping the Balance

Adam J. Singer

Summary: Cutaneous wound healing is a complex process that occurs in four stages: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Postnatal wound healing often leads to scar tissue formation, while regenerative healing can restore the wound to an uninjured state with minimal scarring. This review focuses on the pathophysiology of acute burn wounds and discusses reparative and regenerative healing mechanisms, as well as the development of novel approaches and therapeutics using components of regenerative healing.
