Abstract:

Skin wound healing is a complex physiological process involving inflammation, tissue regeneration, and extracellular matrix remodeling. Dysregulation of this process can lead to excessive scarring or chronic ulcers, impairing skin function. This review summarizes the molecular mechanisms underlying wound healing in animal skin and explores various repair strategies, including novel drug development, enhanced drug delivery, regulation of hormones and external signals, gene therapy, and tissue engineering approaches. These methods improve wound healing outcomes by optimizing drug delivery, modulating inflammatory responses, and promoting vascularization and tissue regeneration. This study aims to provide new insights into animal skin wound healing, highlight potential research directions, and contribute to the development of safer and more effective therapeutic strategies to enhance animal health and welfare.

Key words: animal welfare, skin trauma, wound healing, molecular mechanisms, therapeutic approaches
