Growth factors and/or angiogenic factors are supposed to improve wound healing. These results suggest a beneficial effect of pretreatment with combinatory growth factors in mouse skin wounds without impaired wound healing.

• 1 The aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of subcutaneous pretreatment with combinatory proangiogenic factors on wound closure, mechan-ical properties, vessel density and morphology.
• 2 Twenty-eight Balb/c mice were divided equally into two groups.
• 3 A mixture of VEGF (35.0 µg), bFGF (2.5 µg) and PdGF (3.5 µg) was administered subcutaneously 3, 5 and 7 days to 14 mice before full thickness skin punch biopsy wounding, whereas 14 control animals received three injections of 0.2 ml saline solution.

Understanding this could lead to better treatments, improved diagnostics, or a deeper grasp of how the human body works — benefiting patient care globally.
