Short summary
The transition from the inflammatory to the proliferative phase is a critical, yet poorly understood, step in normal wound healing, and its compromise is linked to chronic wound disorders.

Key points
- The transition from inflammation to proliferation is a crucial stage in wound repair.
- Compromised transition is associated with delayed or disordered wound healing.
- Identifying mechanisms that regulate this phase transition offers therapeutic targets.
- Current therapies for hard-to-heal ulcers and scarring remain limited.

Abstract
The ability to rapidly restore the integrity of a broken skin barrier is critical and is the ultimate goal of therapies for hard-to-heal-ulcers. Unfortunately effective treatments to enhance healing and reduce scarring are still lacking. A deeper understanding of the physiology of normal repair and of the pathology of delayed healing is a prerequisite for the development of more effective therapeutic interventions. Transition from the inflammatory to the proliferative phase is a key step during healing and accumulating evidence associates a compromised transition with wound healing disorders. Thus, targeting factors that impact this phase transition may offer a rationale for therapeutic development. This review summarizes mechanisms regulating the inflammation-proliferation transition at cellular and molecular levels. We propose that identification of such mechanisms will reveal promising targets for development of more effective therapies.
