Bioenergetic Evaluation of Site-specific Keloid and FKN Fibroblasts
… wound healing can lead to conditions such as Keloids or Folliculitis Keloidalis Nuchae (FKN). These fibroproliferative growths pose therapeutic challenges due to their complex aetiology that has been linked to multiple genetic and environmental factors, with frequent reoccurrence following …

The effect of low level light therapy on wound healing: in vitro study with normal and keloid fibroblast
… in clinically to preventing hypertrophic scar or keloid and stimulating wound healing, while the mechanism of their effects remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated the effect of 415 nm, 632 nm, and 830 nm light emitting diodes (LED) to wound healing, especially in normal dermal fibroblasts and …

A Clinical Review of Predisposing Factors in Keloids and Hypertrophic Scars
Keloids and hypertrophics scar management can be difficult and frustrating, and the mechanism underlying keloid formation are only partially understood. There have been many studies about the pathogenesis and the cause, but little about the predisposing factor or the diathesis. They are expected …

Role of human β-defensins in human burn wounds
… There was no HBD2 mRNA and protein expression in keloid tissue specimens from various parts of the body. The absence of HBD2 – a unique intrinsic peptide with an ability to trigger the anti-fibrotic cytokines suggests to the possibility that HBD’s are implicated in the pathogenesis of keloids, …

Comparative histology of human skin.
… areas for unfavourable scarring, specifically keloid or hypertrophic scarring have been shown to be the ear, deltoid and sternal areas. To test the hypothesis that there is no difference in histological structure of skin that correlates to body region, comparative histology was undertaken …
