Early fetal healing as a model for adult organ regeneration TISSUE ENGINEERING Yannas, I. V., Kwan, M. D., Longaker, M. T. 2007; 13 (8): 1789-1798

Abstract

Evidence is provided pointing out certain basic similarities, though not an identity, between the mechanisms of early fetal regeneration and induced organ regeneration in adults. These similarities favor a model of induced organ regeneration in which biologically active scaffolds block wound contraction and scar formation.
