Abstract
Wound healing is defective in patients with diabetes, which may be attributed to many factors. Our data indicate that impairment of the microcirculation is a major factor. Although the exact causes of microvascular impairment are not known, dysfunction of the endothelium has emerged over the last decade as the prominent abnormality related to vascular disease in diabetes. Further studies are required to clarify the causes of endothelial dysfunction and identify potential therapeutic interventions in the future.Entities:
