Abstract: Cutaneous wound healing typically results in scarring; however, chronic wounds (CWs) represent a global and escalating health burden causing substantial morbidity and mortality. Estimated to cost Medicare up to $96.8 billion pa and with a profound paucity of effective therapeutics, novel interventions to improve healing are urgently needed.
