Immunology of Wound Healing
Open accessAbstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Chronic wounds are a tremendous burden on the healthcare system and lead to significant patient morbidity and mortality. Normal cutaneous wound healing occurs through an intricate and delicate interplay between the immune system, keratinocytes, and dermal cells. Each cell type contributes signals that drive the normal phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This paper reviews how various immunological cell types and signaling molecules influence the way wounds develop, persist, and heal. RECENT FINDINGS: Concurrent with the achievement of hemostasis, neutrophils are the first cells to migrate to the wound bed, brought in by pro-inflammatory signals including IL-8. Their apoptosis and engulfment by macrophages (efferocytosis) provides a key signal to the local immune milieu, including macrophages, to transition to an anti-inflammatory, pro-repair state, where angiogenesis occurs and granulation tissue is laid down. Myofibroblasts, activated through contractile forces and signaling molecules, then drive remodeling, where granulation tissue becomes scar. Unchecked inflammation at this stage can result in abnormal scar formation. SUMMARY: Although the derangement of immune signals at any stage can result in impaired wound healing, recent research has shown that the key transition point lies between the inflammatory and the proliferative phases. This review summarizes the events that facilitate this transition and discusses how this process can be disrupted, leading to chronic, non-healing wounds.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This review summarizes immune mechanisms across hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling, arguing that the critical transition from the inflammatory to the proliferative phase often fails in chronic wounds. It highlights neutrophil apoptosis/efferocytosis and macrophage polarization as key drivers of repair.
Key findings
- Chronic wounds in the USA afflict approximately 6.5 million individuals and cost the healthcare system over 25 billion dollars annually; their mortality effect has been reported as comparable to cancer.
- Normal wound healing is divided into hemostasis (minutes to hours), inflammation (days 1–3), proliferation and repair (days 4–21), and remodeling (days 21–365); the key inflammatory-to-proliferative transition occurs around days 2–5 and often fails in chronic wounds.
- Neutrophils are early responders recruited by IL-8/CXCL8; their apoptosis and macrophage engulfment (efferocytosis) signal a shift to anti-inflammatory, pro-repair macrophages. Persistent neutrophils, NETs, proteases/MMPs, reactive oxygen species, and elevated CXCL8 contribute to chronic, non-healing wounds.
- Anti-inflammatory macrophages promote angiogenesis, granulation tissue, and re-epithelialization via VEGF, TGF-β, PDGF, EGF, KGF, and other signals; impaired pro- to anti-inflammatory macrophage transition—seen with iron overload, hyperglycemia, and hypoxia—stalls healing. Mature scars regain only 80% of initial tensile strength.
Methods
- Narrative review of the literature; no primary data, sample, or statistical analysis are reported.
- Synthesizes immune cell and signaling pathways across the four phases of wound healing, focusing on the inflammatory-to-proliferative transition and chronic wounds.
- Draws on cited animal models, in vitro studies, and human wound observations; no systematic search or meta-analysis is described.
Limitations
- The paper states no limitations.
- Evident from the text: it is a narrative review without systematic search, inclusion criteria, or quality appraisal.
- Evident from the text: many mechanistic conclusions rely on mouse models and in vitro findings, with limited direct human chronic wound data; no original experiments or quantitative synthesis are presented.

Findings from mouse models of wound healing can be generalized to human wound healing and chronic wounds.
“mouse models of wound healing have shown that in non-aged, non-impaired models, neutrophil depletion does not negatively affect wound healing as profoundly as macrophage deletion [25–27].”
“in a mouse model of iron overload, local wound macrophages persisted in a pro-inflammatory state with excess production of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), IL-12, and TNF-α, in addition to free radicals, leading to impaired wound healing [81].”
“inhibition of NETosis and NET function in mouse models of delayed wound healing improves outcomes [59•].”

“They exert antimicrobial activity through the release of lytic enzymes, phagocytosis, the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), and the secretion of cytokines that sustain inflammatory responses and recruit additional immune cells [188, 189].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
