    Dongzhen Zhu, JianJun Li, Bingyang Yu … Sha Huang
    Studysummary This study reported that NLRP3 plays complex roles in wound healing by initially promoting inflammation and delaying repair, but later enhancing structural restoration through distinct signaling pathways, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for controlling inflammation and regeneration phases.
