title: [The role of estrogens in regulations of biological processes involved into wound healing--a review].
abstract: Since the average age of female population in developed countries has increased, women live up to one-third of their life in the post-menopausal period during which altered wound healing frequently occurs. It has been shown that estrogens and estrogen receptors play a key role in the regulation of processes involved in tissue repair and regeneration. Hence, for better orientation in this area of biomedical research and clinical practice the role of estrogens and their receptors in wound healing was described in this review.
