Dr. Mohamed El Masry is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Surgery, University of Pittsburgh. His primary research focuses on regenerative medicine in wound healing. His scientific career as a plastic surgeon scientist is dedicated to studying tissue injury and regenerative wound healing and repair. His main goal is to address the fundamental problems associated with the difficult wound healing scenarios by integrating the regenerative capacity of the tissues. He received his medical degree in 2007 from Zagazig University (Egypt), where he also completed his general surgery residency and plastic surgery training. In 2019, he earned his doctoral degree via a jointly sponsored program between Zagazig University and Ohio State University. Prior to joining the University of Pittsburgh, he was an Assistant Professor, Division of Plastic Surgery, Indiana University. He served as an associate editor of the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (PRS) journal and on the editorial board of Advances in Wound Care.  

Collection Overview

Regenerative wound healing encompasses a dynamic process to restore tissue integrity and functionality. It entails the restoration of damaged tissues through the activation of the body's natural healing mechanisms. The global burden of chronic wounds presents a pressing public health issue characterized by substantial economic costs and compromised quality of life. 

Conventional treatments are often limited in efficacy and fall short of addressing the complexities of chronic wounds, necessitating a paradigm shift and innovative management techniques toward more effective and sustainable solutions to overcome these barriers. Bridging this gap demands novel management techniques capable of expediting healing processes and minimizing complications. 

This Methods Collection provides a broad overview of regenerative wound healing, encompassing diverse approaches such as growth factor therapy, stem cell transplantation, biomaterial-based scaffolds, and tissue-engineered constructs. Through cutting-edge research and clinical insights, the collection focuses on elucidating the underlying mechanisms driving tissue regeneration while highlighting emerging trends in regenerative medicine. Researchers can create tailored solutions to address specific wound types and patient needs by combining various regenerative strategies.
