Abstract

Destroying the integrity of the skin may causes disability and even death from injury or illness. Wound healing is a core mechanism to maintain skin barrier function. Milk fat-globule epidermal growth factor 8 (MFG-E8) is a key factor in wound healing and is involved in regulating blood coagulation, mediating macrophage uptake of apoptotic cells, shifting macrophages from an inflammatory to an anti-inflammatory phenotype, promoting angiogenesis, enhancing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling, and assisting wound tissue perfusion. However, these abilities are dysregulated in pathological conditions, such as glucose disorders and ischemic injury. Restricted application of exogenous MFG-E8 can restore function and play a beneficial role in cutaneous wound healing.
