September 2011 in “PLOS ONE” This study found that activin B promotes epithelial wound healing in mice through the RhoA-Rock-JNK-cJun signaling pathway, suggesting a potential therapeutic role for activin B in wound repair.
January 2007 in “The Year book of surgery” Mast cells and VEGF contribute to post-surgery adhesions, and blocking VEGF can reduce these adhesions; also, certain factors affect wound healing and fetal skin heals differently with age.
