Abstract: Dermal wounds are a major health care burden.In the US, more than 6 million chronic wound cases amount to a cost of over $20 billion per year and nearly 5% of the total cost of Medicare and Medicaid [1] .Dysregulation in the onset or resolution of any phase of repair (Ihemostasis, IIinflammation, IIIproliferation, IVremodeling) leads to impaired healing and contributes to increased morbidity and mortality in common comorbidities such as diabetes [2] .Despite intense investigation, there remains a significant, unmet need for improved approaches to enhance the wound healing process.
