Estrogen and wound healing. In an article in Nature Medicine (1997;3:1209-15) Ashcroft et al. reported that postmenopausal women taking hormone replacement therapy had wound healing similar to that observed in young women.

It was suggested that this estrogen effect might be mediated by increasing activity of TGF-beta1.
