dc.description.abstract | Wound healing is an essential process for the repair of tissue damage after an injury. This process results in either the regeneration of parenchymal tissue or replacement with connective tissue (scars). Majority of damaged tissues in adults heal with scars. Normal scarring is well-regulated. However, pathological scarring, also called fibrosis, is out of control. Fibroproliferative diseases involve many organs of the body. The hallmark is the excessive deposition of collagen, which destroys the original structure and impairs its function as well. Peri-implantational fibrosis occurs after implantation. It represents the end stage of a foreign body reaction directed by the host to implants. Peri-implantational fibrosis, characterized by a collagenous capsule, compromises the performance of implants and causes implantation failure. To this day, there is neither effective treatment for fibroproliferative diseases nor effective prevention of peri-implantational fibrosis. To explore | |
