Abstract

In the past 20 years, research and clinical trials on the healing process of chronic wounds have highlighted the key role of the family of enzymes called matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). If a strong correlation between the course of healing of chronic wounds and the levels of a biological marker can be demonstrated, then it may be possible to: i) identify the best marker threshold to predict the clinical evolution of the pathology; and ii) if causality has been found between the marker and pathology, to improve the healing outcome, to change the marker level.
