TLDR The book is a detailed guide on experimental wound healing methods, useful for researchers but not for clinicians.
The document reviews the book "Wound Healing: Methods and Protocols," which is a comprehensive guide for researchers detailing experimental methods in wound healing. The book, edited by Luisa A. DiPietro and Aime L. Burns, is part of the Methods in Molecular Medicine Series and consists of 34 chapters. It covers a range of topics including in vivo and in vitro animal and tissue models, murine and porcine systems, burn injury models, transgenic and knockout mice, tissue culture models of human skin, and various experimental techniques like angiogenesis and cytokine production. Each chapter provides a history, list of materials, detailed methods, and a "Notes" section with practical advice from experienced practitioners. The book is highly recommended for researchers in wound healing, though it is not as useful for clinical practitioners. It is considered an important addition to research libraries, especially for those involved in clinical training programs with research components.
