Enhanced healing of cutaneous wounds in rats using beads with positively charged surfaces.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Cellular energy is required for the healing cascade to occur. A combination of cells, cytokines, chemokines, tissue perfusion, an extracellular matrix, and local forces are also required to allow for human tissue repair to proceed. Although there are many examples of treatment options, energy-based therapies...
