Advances in transcriptomics of cutaneous wound healing

Cutaneous wound healing is involved in complex network interactions at both cellular and molecular levels. Wound healing disorders may result in chronic non-healing wounds or hypertrophic scar, which both are important medical problems in clinical practice. Transcriptomics studies the variety, structure, function and regulation of all transcripts in certain tissue or cells. It provides a powerful procedure for revealing the molecular mechanism and regulatory network of certain healing phases or healing outcomes. This review mainly focused on recent advances in applications and achievements of transcriptomics techniques in analyzing skin wound healing, which will provide reference for following researches.
