Expression of PKM2 in wound keratinocytes is coupled to angiogenesis during skin repair in vivo and in HaCaT keratinocytes in vitro.

An injured skin is rapidly restored in a manner of wound healing. We have previously shown that intact insulin signaling and glucose uptake are fundamental to proper wound closure. Consequently, under exacerbated inflammation, compromised insulin action and glucose uptake lead to impaired healing.

Reciprocal abrogation of PKM isoforms: contradictory outcomes and differing impact of splicing signal on CRISPR/Cas9 mediates gene editing in keratinocytes.

The healing of wounded skin is a highly organized process involving a massive cell in- and outflux, proliferation and tissue remodelling. It is well accepted that metabolic constraints such as diabetes mellitus, overweight or anorexia impairs wound healing. Indeed, wound inflammation involves a boost of overall metabolic changes.
