Cellular Processes in Wound Repair

Kirtan Kumar

Abstract


Wound healing is a process by which the skin repairs itself. In this mainly four processes are briefly explained i.e., inflammation, Haemostasias, Epithelization and Granulation. Keratinocytes re-form a functional epidermis (re epithelialization) as rapidly as possible, closing the wound and reestablishing tissue homeostasis. Dermal fibroblast migrates into wound bed and proliferate, creating “granulation tissue” rich in extracellular protein and supporting the growth of newly formed blood vessels. Ultimately this is remodeled over an extend period, returning the injured tissue to a state as before as injury.


Keywords
