The Wound Reporting in Animal and Human Preclinical Studies (WRAHPS) Guidelines

The Wound Reporting in Animal and Human Preclinical Studies (WRAHPS) Guidelines have been developed to address the lack of standardized reporting in preclinical wound healing studies. These guidelines aim to improve transparency, enable comparative and meta-analysis studies, and reduce redundancy by providing a checklist and reporting template for commonly used preclinical models. The guidelines, created in collaboration with the Wound Care Collaborative Community (WCCC) GAPS group, are intended to standardize reporting methods in scientific manuscripts and the wound healing field, facilitating the translation of discoveries into therapies. They do not address regulatory requirements but focus on important scientific considerations.
