Abstract
Significance:
Better understanding of wound healing could lead to improved treatment(s) of multiple sclerosis (MS) and psoriasis (Pso).
Recent Advances:
New concepts in the events of wound healing, such as the roles of the innate and adaptive immune systems, have generated targets for treating these debilitating diseases.
Innovation:
That in MS and Pso defective wound healing is responsible for the diseases' progression has not been hypothesized to date.
Conclusion:
Impaired initiation of wound repair by oligodendrocyte precursor cells or oligodendrocytes may play a role in MS, and a lack of inhibition of the proliferative phase in wound healing may explain the pathophysiology involved in Pso.
