Chronic skin wounds, caused by arterial or venous insufficiency or by physical pressure, constitute an increasing medical problem as populations age. Whereas typical wounds are characterized by local inflammation that participates in the healing process, atonic wounds lack inflammatory markers, such as neutrophil infiltration, and generally do not heal. Recently, prominent roles in the immunopathology of chronic wounds were attributed to dysregulations in specific cytokines, chemokines, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and their substrates. Together with the complement system, these molecular players provide necessary defense against infections, initiate angiogenesis, and prepare tissue reconstitution. Here, we review the current state of the field and include the concept that, aside from surgery and stem cell therapy, healing may be enhanced by immunomodulating agents.
