AW1 modulates inflammation and the wound healing process by the TLR4/NF-κB molecular axis, thus facilitating reepithelialization, granulation regeneration, and angiogenesis. These findings not only provided a promising multifunctional prohealing drug candidate for chronic nonhealing skin wounds but also highlighted the unique roles of "small" peptides in the elucidation of "big" human disease mechanisms.
