Abstract
The skin, the human body’s largest organ, is perpetually exposed to environmental factors, rendering it vulnerable to potential injuries. Fascia, a vital connective tissue that is extensively distributed throughout the body, fulfils multiple functions, including support, compartmentalization, and force transmission. The role of fascia in skin wound healing has recently attracted considerable attention. In addition to providing mechanical support, fascia significantly contributes to intercellular signalling and tissue repair, establishing itself as a crucial participant in wound healing. This review synthesises the latest advancements in fascia research and its implications for skin wound healing.
