Highlights
The cutaneous wound healing process closes skin gaps by inducing the formation of granulation tissue and epithelialization, which re-establishes an effective epidermal barrier
Horng et al [1] showed in the Special Issue that estrogen deficiency, such as that in postmenopausal women, has detrimental effects on wound-healing processes, inflammation and re-granulation, and that exogenous estrogen treatment may reverse these effects [1]
Akita et al showed that proper epithelialization plays an important role in the healing of burn wounds: when patients with extensive burns received cultured epithelial autografts (CEA) along with either highly expanded or less expanded mesh, the former combination was associated with accelerated wound healing
