Flying blind: we need companion diagnostics in wound healing 

See this manuscript from our friends at Tor Vergata, Roma.

If high protease levels are associated with (expensive) biologic graft failure, then why are we not pairing diagnostics/theragnostics that identify this problem (or others)with these expensive products?

How can we have “wound management” without “wound measurement”? Until this happens, we are collectively flying blind.
