Improvements in acute burn care have enabled patients to survive massive burns that would
have once been fatal. Now up to 70% of patients develop hypertrophic scars after burns. The …

Keloids are pathological scars that grow over time and extend beyond the initial site of injury
after impaired wound healing. These scars frequently recur and rarely regress. They are …

Wound healing is a tightly regulated process, and the presence of bacteria hinders the
process, resulting in infectious wounds. Chronic wounds result in persistent inflammation …

Excessive or disordered wound repair results in abnormal hyperplasia of scars, which
intensifies the complexity and difficulty of treatment. The reported wound repair dressings …

Keloid scar, dermal benign fibro-proliferative growth that extends outside the original wound
and invades adjacent dermal tissue due to extensive production of extracellular matrix …

Hypertrophic scars and keloids are caused by excessive tissue response to dermal injury
due to local fibroblast proliferation and collagen overproduction. This response occurs …

Fibrosis is intimately linked to wound healing and is one of the largest causes of wound-
related morbidity. While scar formation is the normal and inevitable outcome of adult …

Abstract Background Hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a naturally occurring molecule produced by
the immune system, is highly active against bacterial, viral, and fungal microorganisms …

Fitting the human body for different purposes such as flexible electronics and functional
garments can be a challenging task. Pressure garments are used to treat hypertrophic scars …

Although pressure therapy (PT) represents the standard care for prevention and treatment of
hypertrophic scar (HS) from burns, its practice is largely based on empirical evidence and its …
