Mechanotransduction of Wound Healing

Abstract

Skin injury caused by mechanical force is a phenomenon mankind faces pretty often. The mechanism through which our body responds towards wound healing and skin regeneration is highly complex and requires the involvement of multiple gene regulatory pathways.  A better understanding of the proteins and secondary messengers involved in those pathways can help in the development of exact therapeutic mechanisms that can contribute towards improvement in the treatment of scar formation. Here, we describe very briefly the multiple stages of wound healing and the important signaling pathways involved in wound healing.
