Abstract
The complex process of wound healing is regulated by various growth factors. The systemic character of diabetes mellitus favors the chronification of diabetic wounds. In this study, the in vitro effects of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB on the expression of cytokines and matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) in fibroblasts of Type 2 diabetic patients and healthy controls were investigated.We studied six Type 2 diabetic patients (mean...
