By week 8 7/7 patients had healed in the good healer group, whereas by week 12 3/9 patients had not healed in the poor healer group.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Matrix metalloproteinases and diabetic foot ulcers: the ratio of MMP-1 to TIMP-1 is a predictor of wound healing"</p><p></p><p>Diabetic Medicine 2008;25(4):419-426.</p><p>Published online 01 Apr 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2326726.</p><p>© 2008 The Authors.
