A study of modern scientific information that may contribute to finding treatments help in the healing of wounds , after he pointed to the role of a type of immune cells to slow down the process of closing parts of the affected skin. Conducted research team - included specialists from Loyola University of America - study included laboratory experiments on mice in order to test the effect of immune cells - known as killer T cells , or cells ( NKT ) , which has important functions in the fight against cancer cells and virus-infected cells - the process of wound healing.
The results of the study, published in " Journal of Surgical Research " that the healing process has been slower in mice that possess cells ( NKT ) , compared with mice that were deprived of the production of these cells .
According to the results show that the killer T cells were moving towards wounds positions , and slow down the process of healing.
The team did not specify after how slow killer T cells (NKT) wound healing, but expressed his intention to conduct a study in the future , to assess the possibility of inhibition of these cells by the use of antibodies , in order to prevent it from slowing down the recovery process of the skin.
