Sirolimus impairs wound healing
2007
Background and aims
Clinically, the immunosuppressive drug sirolimus, used in organ transplantation, appears to impair wound healing. Little is known about the mechanisms of action. We investigated the effect of sirolimus on wound healing, and we analyzed the expression of stimulating mediators of angiogenesis (VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor) and collagen synthesis (nitric oxide) in wounds.
