Inflammation, MMP production, matrix degradation, and cell senescence/apoptosis are all elevated in chronic wounds. These processes cannot be overcome because of insufficient levels of cell proliferation, ECM synthesis, production of TIMPs, and impaired angiogenesis/ neovascularization. This imbalance leads to inability of chronic wounds to heal.
