WHS SESSION F: Wound Inflammation

Inflammation, and the associated recruitment and activation of immune cells, play an important role in the wound healing process. Inflammation can be critical for preventing infection and the type and duration of inflammation can also influence other aspects of healing such as angiogenesis, the formation of granulation tissue, the speed of closure and the amount of scar tissue that will be produced. The speakers in this session will discuss recent developments related to inflammation and wound healing.
