Original title: Skin Wound Healing Process and New Emerging Technologies for Skin Wound Care and Regeneration
Healing uses cells and chemical signals to restore the skin after an injury. But closing a wound does not always mean the skin has fully regenerated; healing may only repair the damaged area. This review describes complications, chronic-wound care, and newer approaches to skin regeneration. Some approaches use scaffolds—structures that support cells—alongside growth factorsSignals that can encourage cells to grow or carry out particular tasks., active molecules, or genetically changed cells.
When you patch a torn backpack, the fabric may hold together again but still look and feel different from the original. The patch can fix the hole without restoring the material that was there before. In this paper, ordinary wound repair is the patch, while the newer approaches aim to help skin regenerate more effectively using supportive structures and signals.
Chronic wounds can need ongoing clinical care, while scars may remain after a wound closes. The review covers newer treatments aimed at improving healing, easing long-term problems, and tailoring care to the person.
The abstract describes a broad review, but it gives no specific study results, comparisons between treatments, or evidence that any approach is effective in patients. It also does not specify which technologies are most promising or how personalized treatment would be carried out.
