The process of wound healing

Preventing venous stasis ulcers, pressure sores and diabetic foot ulcers is achieved by bioactive peptides promote wound healing. The formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and remodeling of extracellular matrices by collageneses from Clostridium histolyticum bacteria allows for wound healing.
