## Abstract ## Background and Objective In reβevaluating the effects of laser therapy in wound healing, the role of extracellular matrix elements and myofibroblasts, was analyzed. ## Study Design/Materials and Methods Cutaneous wounds were inflicted on the back of 72 Wistar rats. Low level laser
## Summary Healing after carbon dioxide laser incisions has been assessed in three animal experiments. Nine incisions in pig skin were found to be significantly weaker after 7 days than similar incisions made with a scalpel, but stronger than those made with a cutting diathermy. Laser excision of s
## Abstract Dermal fibroblasts/myofibroblasts involved in the wound healing are thought to originate from the resident fibroblast progenitors. To test the hypothesis of an extra dermal origin of the dermal fibroblasts/myofibroblasts, bone marrow (BM) transplantation and parabiosis experiments were
Considering the advancing age of the population, wound healing disturbances are becoming increasingly important in clinical routine. The development of wound healing creams and lotions as well as therapy control require an objective evaluation of the wound healing process, which represents the destr
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives We have used a 660βnm, 80βmW laser diode in genetic diabetic mice to stimulate the healing of wounds covered with a Tegaderm HP dressing that causes a retardation of contraction (splinted wounds). The purpose of our study was to examine the effects of irrad
