Role of Autophagy and Apoptosis in Wound Tissue of Deep Second‐degree Burn in Rats
1 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The pathogenesis of burn wound progression is poorly understood. Contributing factors include continuous loss of blood perfusion, excessive inflammation, and elevated apoptosis levels in wound tissue. Macroautophagy (here referred to simply as "autophagy") is associated with many chronic diseases. The authors hypothesized that autophagy is involved in burn wound progression in a rat model of deep...
