ABSTRACT
Wounded soft tissues undergo repair through a complex series of interrelated events that involve both physical and chemical activities. These processes are currently undergoing extensive investigation as efforts are directed toward achieving augmented and accelerated healing. Early wound-healing research focused on expanding traditional histologic descriptions of tissue healing by attempting to characterize the environment and biologic mediators responsible for healing. These initial studies successfully identified a number of agents and physiochemical factors present in healing wounds, but their precise roles and importance remain largely unknown. This review article summarizes the current literature on soft tissue healing. An effort has been made to correlate the activities of the major growth factors and cytokines with the individual reparative processes including the inflammatory response, hemostasis, fibroplasia, angiogenesis, and remodeling. Explanations and characteristics of growth factor function as well as brief descriptions of several major factors and their spectrum of activity are also provided.
