GlossaryEpithelialization

process of new skin cells covering a wound

Epithelialization is the process by which new epithelial cells form and migrate to cover a wound or damaged tissue, creating a protective barrier. This is a crucial step in wound healing, as it helps to restore the integrity of the skin or mucous membranes, preventing infection and further injury.
