Our previous have indicated that systemic administration of morphine hinders angiogenesis and delays wound healing. Here we have explained the pathological mechanism underlying the effect of morphine on wound healing. | Morphine induces fibroblast activation through up-regulation of connexin 43 expression: Implication of fibrosis in wound healing
