title: [Chronic wounds. Novel approaches in research and therapy].
abstract: Underlying disease may impair normal wound healing, leading to chronic, poorly healing wounds. Efficient treatment strategies require identification and treatment of the underlying disease as well as directed correction of the wound healing defect. A thorough knowledge of tissue repair mechanisms at the cellular and molecular level will help to achieve these goals. This review focuses on new developments in wound healing research and the resulting non-operative therapeutic implications.
