Abstract

Chronic nonhealing wounds represent a significant clinical problem and cost the healthcare system $19 billion annually. Recently, Vågesjö et al. (2018) demonstrated a promising therapeutic approach for nonhealing wounds with topical application of CXCL12-producing Lactobacilli that enhanced healing through alterations in the wound microenvironment.
