The healing process is an attractive topic in biology and medicine. There are two types of wound healing - in embryos and in adults. In the case of embryonic wound healing the whole process is simplified and accelerated. An inflammatory reaction typical for adult healing is eliminated and the wound is healed without scars. Better understanding of embryonic wound healing could lead to more effective treatment of injuries, burns and chronic wounds in human population. The studying of molecular mechanisms in the healing process is also meaningful in the context of understanding the cancer regulation. The wound healing could be compared with embryonic development in many ways. The body's axes are essential for a spatial activation of genes involved in development. Our hypotesis was that the axis are also important for wound healing. It has been suggested that the cell's polarity and motility depends whether the wound is vertical or horizontal. There are also connections between wound healing and cancer development. One of them is the degradation of the basement membrane (BM) and extracellular matrix (ECM). The process of degradation is catalyzed by the coordinated action of several classes of enzymes. Some of them - matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and their role in embryonic wound healing have been...
