Role of Hyaluronic Acid Treatment in the Prevention of Keloid Scarring
Conclusion: Our data demonstrates that HA has the potential to normalize keloid fibroblast characteristic features such as hyperproliferation, growth factor production and ECM deposition depending on the specific genotype of the keloid fibroblast cell line. This study suggests that high molecular weight HA can be used to replenish HA deposition in keloid fibroblasts thereby decreasing fibrosis and ultimately decreasing keloid manifestation.

Abstract: Evidenced-based-wound management continues to be a cornerstone for advancing patient care. The purpose of this article is to review the use of whirlpool as a wound treatment in light of evidence, outcomes, and potential harm.

Skin Cell Proliferation Stimulated by Microneedles
Abstract: A classical wound may be defined as a disruption of tissue integrity. Wounds, caused by trauma from accidents or surgery, that close via secondary intention rely on the biological phases of healing, i.e., hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling (HIPR). Depending on the wound type and severity, the inflammation phase begins immediately after injury and may last for an average of 7–14 days. Concurrent with the inflammation phase or slightly delayed, cell proliferation is stimulated followed by the activation of the remodeling (maturation) phase. The latter phase can last as long as 1 year or mor...
