Acting as a vital protective barrier, the skin shields an organism's internal tissues and organs from damage. As a result, an organism must quickly repair the barrier after a skin injury occurs. To gain further insights into this critical process, researchers have begun characterizing the wound healing process spatially and temporally using spatial transcriptomic and proteomic approaches.
