Abstract
Wound healing is a conserved, multistep physiological process that relies on a balanced equilibrium between neutralization of the causative agent and restoration of native tissue structure and function. An imbalance at any step can quickly escalate into a dysregulated positive feedback loop, resulting in chronic inflammation, loss of function, or tissue death. Failures or dysregulation of these steps can result in phenotypes of aberrant wound healing that eventually manifest as chronic inflammation. This approach to physiological and pathological wound healing will be explored from a combined systems and molecular biology perspective with relevance to the clinical setting.
