Abstract
Wound healing is a complex, dynamic process required for maintaining homeostasis in an organism. Along with being controlled biochemically, wound healing is also controlled through the transduction of biophysical stimuli through cell interactions with the extracellular matrix (ECM). This review provides an overview of the ECM's role in the wound healing process and subsequently expands on the variety of roles biophysical phenomenon play.Keywords: Biophysics; Collagen; Extracellular matrix; Fibrin; Fibrinogen; Fibronectin; Platelets; Transforming growth factor beta; Wound healing
