Abstract

Healing of cutaneous wounds involves regeneration of surface epidermis and repair of connective tissues by events that are largely independent of one another. If the wound is a shallow one epidermal regeneration precedes repair in the dermis but if the injury extends the full thickness of the skin epidermal regeneration and growth of granulation tissue takes place concurrently.
