Wound Surface Epithelium
- Molecular classification
- Epithelial Tissue, Cellular Layer
01
Overview
Wound surface epithelium refers to the layer of epithelial cells that covers and protects a wound during the healing process. This tissue is critical for restoring the barrier function of skin or mucosa after injury, preventing infection, and facilitating proper wound closure. It primarily consists of keratinocytes in skin wounds, and its formation involves coordinated cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation regulated by molecules like integrins (β1), small GTPases (Rac1), EGF, and TGF‐β.
