Wound healing is the coordinated biological process by which the body repairs damaged tissue following physical, chemical or biological injury, restoring the integrity and, where possible, the function of skin and underlying structures. It proceeds through overlapping phases, classically described as haemostasis, inflammation, proliferation and remodelling, and involves a tightly regulated interplay of cellular and molecular events including angiogenesis, cell migration and proliferation, extracellular matrix deposition and tissue remodelling. Effective healing is essential to recovery from surgery, trauma and disease, while impaired or chronic wounds, such as those associated with diabetes, neuropathy or persistent infection, represent a substantial clinical and economic burden. Research published in this journal investigates several aspects of repair and regeneration, including how acute and chronic wound fluid differentially influence healing in three-dimensional in-vitro wound models, feasibility studies of diabetic foot and leg ulcer and peri-wound neuropathy healing, and delayed wound models in diabetic animals treated with neuromodulation systems. Additional work examines negative-pressure wound therapy for open tibial fractures, the comparative efficacy of platelet-rich fibrin and zinc-oxide nanoparticles on bone defects, surgical-site infection as an ongoing challenge, and surgical reconstruction techniques. Together these studies reflect interest in the cellular biology, experimental modelling, biomaterials and clinical management of acute and chronic wounds.
