Abstract

The process of wound healing is intricate, involving highly coordinated and synchronized mechanisms. Deviations from normal physiological responses can result in hypertrophic scarring. In recent years, there has been a global resurgence of interest in herbal remedies. Many plant-derived compounds and extracts have demonstrated the capacity to inhibit hypertrophic scar formation. The primary mode of action involves inhibiting proliferation and/or triggering apoptosis in scar fibroblasts by modulating various pathways, including PI3K/AKT, VEGF, and TGF-Beta/SMAD. Advancing our comprehension of hypertrophic scar pathophysiology, conducting follow-up research, and pursuing future investigations will help overcome current challenges and lead to the development of promising therapeutic approaches.
