Cell motilty is integral to tissue repair. Cell movement, extracellular
matrix deposition, local tissue contraction and remodeling, cell proliferation
and differentiation are all part of the complex process of wound healing, which
can involve many different types of cells, including blood platelets, lymphocytes
and leukocytes (especially neutrophils and macrophages), fibroblasts, epithelial
cells and endothelial cells.
Wound Update - "A
monthly review of the wound healing literature [...] provided as a service
to the wound healing community to allow rapid access to relevant publications
indexed on the Medline database." (Keith Moore, WoundSci)
