Abstract excerpt
Keloid, as a unique form of pathological scar, involves complex interactions across multiple dimensions in its pathogenesis, including genetic susceptibility, epigenetic regulation, immune microenvironment disorders, metabolic reprogramming, abnormal mechanical force transduction, and fine-tuning by non-coding RNAs. At the genetic level, alleles such as HLA-DRB1*15, HOX gene family, and high-frequency mutation...
