  3. Wound healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_healing

    Wound healing refers to a living organism's replacement of destroyed or damaged tissue by newly produced tissue. [1] In undamaged skin, the epidermis (surface, epithelial layer) and dermis (deeper, connective layer) form a protective barrier against the external environment. When the barrier is broken, a regulated sequence of biochemical events ...

  4. Wound licking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_licking

    Wound licking is an instinctive response in humans and many other animals to cover an injury or second degree burn [1] with saliva. Dogs, cats, small rodents, horses, and primates all lick wounds. [2] Saliva contains tissue factor which promotes the blood clotting mechanism. The enzyme lysozyme is found in many tissues and is known to attack ...

  5. Negative-pressure wound therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative-pressure_wound...

    Negative pressure wound therapy device. Negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT), also known as a vacuum assisted closure (VAC), is a therapeutic technique using a suction pump, tubing, and a dressing to remove excess exudate and promote healing in acute or chronic wounds and second- and third-degree burns. The therapy involves the controlled ...

  6. Chronic wound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_wound

    Research into hormones and wound healing has shown estrogen to speed wound healing in elderly humans and in animals that have had their ovaries removed, possibly by preventing excess neutrophils from entering the wound and releasing elastase. [26] Thus the use of estrogen is a future possibility for treating chronic wounds.

  7. Wound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound

    A wound is any disruption of or damage to living tissue, such as skin, mucous membranes, or organs. [1][2] Wounds can either be the sudden result of direct trauma (mechanical, thermal, chemical), or can develop slowly over time due to underlying disease processes such as diabetes mellitus, venous/arterial insufficiency, or immunologic disease. [3]

  8. Wound healing assay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_healing_assay

    A wound healing assay is a laboratory technique used to study cell migration and cell–cell interaction. This is also called a scratch assay because it is done by making a scratch on a cell monolayer and capturing images at regular intervals by time lapse microscope. [1][2] It is specifically a 2D cell migration approach to semi-quantitatively ...

  9. Postoperative wounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postoperative_wounds

    Postoperative wounds are those wounds acquired during surgical procedures. Postoperative wound healing occurs after surgery and normally follows distinct bodily reactions: the inflammatory response, the proliferation of cells and tissues that initiate healing, and the final remodeling. Postoperative wounds are different from other wounds in ...
