Wound Healing Research
Description
This book presents the latest knowledge on both the physiological and the microbiological aspects of wound healing. Fresh insights into the process of cutaneous wound healing are described, which involves tissue regeneration and repair processes consisting of a sequence of molecular and cellular events. The management of infected wounds is then discussed in detail, covering the roles of traditional medicine practices, novel anti-infective formulations, non-antibiotic approaches, and probiotic bacteria. A section devoted to the interdisciplinary approach to wound care addresses topics including
in vitro
and
in vivo
research models, the development of advanced wound dressings, tissue engineering, and the potential applications of bioscaffolds. The authors are all leading researchers in the field. This book is an attempt to showcase current research status and future directions in the area of wound-healing research, which must be of interest to a large group ofreaders and researchers interested in this field.

Persons
Vijay Kothari is a microbiologist. His primary research interest is AMR (antimicrobial resistance). His group is actively involved in investigating antimicrobial/ anti-virulence potential of natural products as well as synthetic compounds. In recent past, his lab has extensively investigated the anti-pathogenic activity of various traditional medicine formulations e.g.
Panchvalkal
,
Panchgavya
,
Triphala
, etc. against different antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains including the wound-infective species. His lab was awarded SRISTI-DBT-BIRAC Appreciation Award for validation of anti-infective potential of a traditional polyherbal formulation- Herboheal. He has also been awarded two AIMS (Artificial Intelligence Molecular Screen) award projects by Atomwise Inc., USA for identifying novel anti-infective leads. Dr. Kothari has also contributed substantially to the field as an active editor and reviewer, and has been conferred the
Sentinel of Science
award by Publons in 2016 recognizing his contribution as a peer reviewer.
