Maggots and wound healing: the effects of Lucilia sericata larval secretions upon interactions between human dermal fibroblasts and extracellular matrix proteins

The introduction of necrophagous fly larvae (maggots) into chronic wounds for the purpose of inducing healing is an ancient practice that has recently undergone a renaissance in Western medicine. Through clinical observations, maggots are broadly recognised to debride the wound of necrotic tissue, c...
