Chronic wounds have been associated with an elevated burden of cellular senescence, a state of essentially irreversible cell cycle arrest, resistance to apoptosis, and a secretory phenotype. However, whether senescent cells contribute to wound chronicity in humans remains unclear. The objective of this article is to assess the role of clinicopathological characteristics and cellular senescence in the time-to-healing of chronic wounds.
