Abstract
We are now developing the means to evaluate components of this inflammatory response that may facilitate healing. A key event in the change in the inflammatory response is the development of a cytokine cascade that promotes phenotypic changes in the infiltrating leukocytes, which endow them with the ability to promote fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition, the hallmarks of healing.
