Wound healing and immune response are linked because inflammation serves as an immune response to initiate healing [1], and both processes are regulated by bioelectric signaling [2]. Furthermore, the immune response is a critical component of the repair process, as evidenced by the fact that impaired immune function slows down wound healing [3].
