  2. Scar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scar

    Scar tissue is composed of the same protein as the tissue that it replaces, but the fiber composition of the protein is different; instead of a random basketweave formation of the collagen fibers found in normal tissue, in fibrosis the collagen cross-links and forms a pronounced alignment in a single direction. [1]

  3. Fibrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrosis

    Physiologically, fibrosis acts to deposit connective tissue, which can interfere with or totally inhibit the normal architecture and function of the underlying organ or tissue. Fibrosis can be used to describe the pathological state of excess deposition of fibrous tissue, as well as the process of connective tissue deposition in healing. [ 4 ]

  4. Myocardial scarring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_scarring

    [1] [2] Fibrosis is the formation of excess tissue in replacement of necrotic or extensively damaged tissue. Fibrosis in the heart is often hard to detect because fibromas, scar tissue or small tumors formed in one cell line, are often formed. [3] Because they are so small, they can be hard to detect by methods such as magnetic resonance ...

  5. Scar free healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scar_free_healing

    Scar free healing is the process by which significant injuries can heal without permanent damage to the tissue the injury has affected. In most healing, scars form due to the fibrosis and wound contraction, however in scar free healing, tissue is completely regenerated. During the 1990s, published research on the subject increased; it is a ...

  6. Skin repair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_repair

    Damaged sweat and sebaceous glands, hair follicles, muscle cells, and nerves are seldom repaired. They are usually replaced by the fibrous tissue. The result is the formation of an inflexible, fibrous scar tissue. Human skin cells are capable of repairing UV-induced DNA damages by the process of nucleotide excision repair. [2]

  7. Arthrofibrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthrofibrosis

    There is excessive scar tissue formation within the joint and/or surrounding soft tissues leading to painful restriction of joint motion that persists despite physical therapy and rehabilitation. The scar tissue may be located inside the knee joint or may involve the soft tissue structures around the knee joint, or both locations.

  8. Myosatellite cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myosatellite_cell

    Fibroblasts within the muscle deposit scar tissue, which can impair muscle function, and is a significant part of the pathology of muscular dystrophies. Satellite cells proliferate following muscle trauma [11] and form new myofibers through a process similar to fetal muscle development. [12]

  9. Glial scar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glial_scar

    The ultimate function of the glial scar is to reestablish the physical and chemical integrity of the CNS. This is done by generating a barrier across the injured area that seals the nervous/non-nervous tissue boundary. This also allows for the regeneration of the selective barrier to prevent further microbial infections and spread of cellular ...
