This book discusses the molecular mechanisms, signaling pathways, and emerging technologies in wound healing. The initial chapters present wound classification and examine the important role of signaling pathways and biomarkers in tissue repair. The relationship between the skin microbiome and wound healing is also explored, emphasizing the influence of microbial communities on acute and chronic wounds. The book also explores the use of animal models in wound healing research, outlining the advantages and limitations of various species in preclinical studies. Additionally, it examines the natural and bio-based approaches, including the use of herbal remedies and animal-derived products in wound healing. Further, the book reviews the revolutionary role of artificial intelligence in wound assessment and precision medicine. Further, the book presents conventional and novel therapeutic strategies, including bioengineered materials and nanotechnology for stem cell-based treatments and extracellular matrix-based therapies. The significance of nutritional support is examined, detailing the role of macronutrients, micronutrients, and hydration in optimizing wound repair.Key FeaturesCovers the molecular mechanisms, classification, and physiological processes involved in tissue repairExamines key biological regulators and their roles in wound assessment and healing progressionHighlights the impact of microbial communities on acute and chronic wound healingDiscusses the advantages, limitations, and biomedical relevance of various animal models in wound healing studiesInvestigates the role of herbal remedies and animal-derived products in promoting wound healingThis book is intended for researchers and students of regenerative medicine, biomedical sciences, and pharmaceutical sciences.
