TLDR
It is demonstrated, for the first time, that Ang II plays an important role in skin wound healing and that it functions by accelerating keratinocyte and fibroblast migration in a process mediated by HB-EGF shedding.

Growth factors and cytokines in wound healing.

TL;DR: A review of the specific roles of these growth factors and cytokines during wound healing can be found in this article, where patients are treated by three growth factors: PDGF-BB, bFGF, and GM-CSF.

Wound re-epithelialization: modulating keratinocyte migration in wound healing.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the mechanisms that regulate keratinocyte migration in the re-epithelialization process and the role of growth factors, cytokines and chemokines, eicosanoids, oxygen tension, antimicrobial peptides, and matrix metalloproteinases.

The Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor System in Skin Repair and Inflammation

TL;DR: Increasing evidence now suggests that the EGFR pathway has a major impact on the inflammatory/immune reactions of the skin, in the apparent effort of enhancing innate immune defense while opposing overactivation of keratinocyte pro-inflammatory functions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potential cellular and molecular causes of hypertrophic scar formation

TL;DR: Following the chronology of normal wound healing, the complex molecular and cellular key processes that may be responsible for hypertrophic scars are unravel, clarify and reorganize.

EGF receptor transactivation by G-protein-coupled receptors requires metalloproteinase cleavage of proHB-EGF

TL;DR: In this article, agents and methods for growth factor receptor activation by modulating the G-protein mediated signal transduction pathway were described, and a method to activate the growth factor receptors was proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Production and auto-induction of transforming growth factor-alpha in human keratinocytes.

TL;DR: Analysis of normal skin biopsies using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry demonstrates the in vivo presence of TGF-α messenger RNA and protein in the stratified epidermis, suggesting that a mechanism of auto-induction exists.
Journal ArticleDOI

EGF receptor ligands

TL;DR: The rapid local capture of TGFα by the EGFR has fundamental biological importance and is a phenomenon that is critical in diverse biological processes such as vulva development in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) and hair follicle organization in mammals.
