Sumario: | Pathological scars (including keloids, hypertrophic scars, and scar contractures) are present with high severity among certain populations, particularly in Asians and Africans who are highly prone to develop scars. Understanding the patho-mechanism that underlies scarring, such as mechanosignaling, systemic, and genetic factors, as well as optimal surgical techniques and integrated noninvasive therapeutic methods can guide clinicians to develop treatment protocols that can overcome these issues. This report summarizes a congress at Pacifico Yokohama (Conference Center) on December 19, 2021 involving researchers and clinicians from diverse disciplines who convened to discuss current clinical, preclinical, and most recent research advances in understanding pathological scarring, keloid and hypertrophic scar management, and research progress in wound healing. Presenters described the advances in scar therapies, understanding scarring mechanisms, and scar prevention and assessments tools. Moreover, presenters addressed the challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic and using telemedicine in management of scar patients. |
