Book Description

Publication Date: August 23, 2001 | ISBN-10: 1853172049 | ISBN-13: 978-1853172045 | Edition: 1

Gene therapy, bioengineered skin, and other methods in advanced biology are revolutionizing the treatment of wounds. Written by experts in research and clinical practice, Cutaneous Wound Healing examines the current knowledge and emerging treatment methods. This volume explains the normal molecular and cellular functions that occur when a wound heals, as well as dysfunctional events, such as a chronic wound or an ulcer. Such dysfunctions signal an imbalance in the body, explained here along with possible treatments. The book's mini-atlas is an indispensable reference tool. Dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and general practitioners can benefit from this text.
