The Relationship of Wound Healing with Psoriasis and Multiple Sclerosis

Vera B Morhenn. Adv Wound Care (New Rochelle). .

Abstract

Significance: Better understanding of wound healing could lead to improved treatment(s) of multiple sclerosis (MS) and psoriasis (Pso). Recent Advances: New concepts in the events of wound healing, such as the roles of the innate and adaptive immune systems, have generated targets for treating these debilitating diseases. Innovation: That in MS and Pso defective wound healing is responsible for the diseases' progression has not been hypothesized to date. Conclusion: Impaired initiation of wound repair by oligodendrocyte precursor cells or oligodendrocytes may play a role in MS, and a lack of inhibition of the proliferative phase in wound healing may explain the pathophysiology involved in Pso.

Keywords: multiple sclerosis; psoriasis; wound healing.
