Epithelialization / Epithelialisation
Definition: Regeneration of the epidermis across a wound surface by epithelial cells migrating from healthy wound edges.
Epithelialization is a pivotal phase in the wound healing process.
To enhance your understanding of epithelialization, visit the LINK eLearning course and earn 1 CPD credit here: Epithelialization (linkforwoundhealing.info)
After completing this course, you will be able to:
- Discover and understand epithelialization as a critical phase in the wound healing process.
- Understand the roles of keratinocytes and growth factors in epithelialization.
- Update your knowledge on epithelialization and relate it to some of the available therapeutic solutions, such as wound-boosting growth factors.
