Abstract:Purpose: Chronic venous leg ulcers (CVLUs) comprise the majority of lower-extremity wounds, yet their pathophysiology is not fully understood. While research has shown that microRNAs are an important component of wound inflammation, few have explored the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the healing of CVLUs. This scoping review examines miRNAs in CVLUs and the association with wound healing. Methods: In December 2023, we searched MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and CINAHL for studies published in 2013–2023 examin… Show more
