Hormonal interventions in skin wounds – a mini review

Abstract The ability to heal from wounds is perhaps the most important biological function that ensures our survival and perpetuation. Cutaneous wound healing typically consists of four characteristic stages, namely hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling, which are carefully carried...

description Abstract The ability to heal from wounds is perhaps the most important biological function that ensures our survival and perpetuation. Cutaneous wound healing typically consists of four characteristic stages, namely hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling, which are carefully carried out by coordinated actions of various cells, cytokines, and hormones. Incoordination of these steps may impede complete and efficient reconstruction and functional recovery of wounds or even lead to worsened outcomes. Hormones, as powerful modulators of organ functions, participate in multiple steps of the wound healing process and play a pivotal role by choreographing the complex interplay of cellular and molecular events. Leveraging the regulatory effects of hormones to enhance the healing process, hormonal therapy has emerged as a promising approach in the clinical treatment of wounds. Current research has focused on determination of the optimal dosages, delivery methods, and combinations of hormonal therapies to maximize their therapeutic benefits while minimizing potential side effects. This review highlights the molecular mechanisms, clinical benefits and side effects of the most commonly used hormones in clinical treatment of wounds.
