This project investigates the mechanisms behind scar formation and tissue regeneration, focusing on specialized fibroblast cell types. By developing innovative imaging technologies, the research aims to identify the genetic factors that determine whether tissue scars or regenerates after injury.
Scars are a mystery.
They rarely develop in lower vertebrates, where the norm is a complete regeneration of damaged tissues, but are frequent in mammals including humans.
Scar phenotypes depend on different injury types, anatomic locations, age, gender and species.
The natural diversity of scars includes rare cases, where damaged tissues regenerate without scarring.
The scar/regeneration decision remains unresolved and scar prevention is a clinical challenge.
