Immune cells in keloids: mechanisms and potential treatments

Key Points

This research examines the role of immune cells in the development of keloids and their potential as treatment targets.
Review of immunological studies related to keloids
Analysis of immune dysfunction pathways
Evaluation of immunomodulatory treatment strategies
Identified key immune mechanisms contribute to keloid formation
Suggests potential immunomodulatory therapies to improve keloid treatment
Highlights the importance of targeting immune pathways in keloid management

Abstract

Immunoregulatory mechanisms and cytotoxic immune dysfunction are central to keloid pathogenesis. Targeting these pathways may provide a basis for the development of novel immunomodulatory strategies to improve keloid outcomes.
