When wound healing of cutaneous tissue becomes problematic, it increases patient morbidity associated with increased infection, demand on medical resources, and asserts a profound detrimental effect on the individual’s quality of life. Currently, there are limited effective strategies for addressing chronic cutaneous wounds. The study reported here is based upon the understanding that individual skin wounds may preferentially require differing proteinaceous precursors during specific phases of skin wound repair and calls attention to the possibilities in the reexamination of traditional treatments such as plant and animal-derived substances among many others. This study aimed to determine if, and which, amino acid …
