Wound Healing

Meaning

Wound healing is the complex, biological process of tissue repair and regeneration that the body initiates to restore the integrity of damaged skin or other bodily tissues following injury. This highly regulated process progresses through four distinct, overlapping phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Optimal wound healing is contingent upon robust immune function, adequate nutritional status, and a balanced endocrine environment.
