'Provides comprehensive detail on the various aspects of particular
molecules involved in the phases of injury and repair and the
cellular movements and processes....This is an excellent reference
book for libraries serving biology and health science clientele and
for workers in this field of research.' -American Scientist, from a
review of the First Edition All chapters of this second edition
have been completely revised and expanded-especially the chapters
on growth factors and extracellular matrix molecules. New chapters
discuss provisional matrix proteins, extracellular matrix
receptors, and scarring versus nonscarring wound healing.

Editing a book of this nature was a simultaneously exhilarating and
frightening experience. It was exhilarating to draw from cell
biologists, biochemists, and molecular biologists, as well as those
dermatologists, pathologists, and pul monologists who are cell
biologists at heart, to author chapters. At the same time, it was
frightening to ask such busy investigators to devote their precious
time to writing chapters that summarize not just their own
endeavors but their entire area of expertise. However, the authors
assuaged our fears by enthusi astically accepting the proposal to
write on specific topics despite the time burden, and to update and
willingly accept our editorial comments. In the editors' view, the
authors have captured the important scientific data in their
respective fields, have organized the data into an understandable
outline, and have applied the information to elucidating wound
repair processes. The explosion of new, important discoveries in
the field of wound repair and related areas as our book was
developing has been very unsettling. This observation predicts
obsolescence. In response to this possibility, the authors and the
editors have attempted to build fundamental concepts upon existing
data. Hopefully, these concepts will help provoke further
experimentation to unravel the complex, interwoven processes of
wound repair. The book has been organized into three parts:
Inflammation, Granulation Tissue Formation, and Extracellular
Matrix Production and Remodeling."
