“…Chronic wounds are defined as lesions that present impaired (i.e., slow) wound healing (Kirsner and Eaglstein, 1993). Among possible causes for such impaired healing is the persistent inflammation within the actual wound, caused by bacteria colonization, for example (Ehrlich, 1998;Fukai et al, 2005), which is exacerbated in diabetic patients (Lookingbill et al, 1978;Madsen et al, 1996;Robson, 1997;Sibbald et al, 2000;Baltzis et al, 2014;Eming et al, 2014). This permanent inflammatory state results in early degradation of newly forming tissue, creating a neverending loop of wound healing (Rogers et al, 1995;Yager et al, 1996;Kahari and Saarialho-Kere, 1997;Trengove et al, 1999;Liu et al, 2009).…”
