Repair 

Overview: The process of repair begins very early. Repair involves regeneration of the parenchyma or replacement of damaged tissue with a scar if regeneration is not possible.

Definitions: Healing versus regeneration

Regeneration is complete replacement of damaged cells, with no scar formation. 

  • Can occur in renewing tissues (e.g., gastrointestinal tract and skin). 

  • Can occur in stable tissues (e.g., compensatory growth in the liver).

Healing is regeneration of cells combined with scarring and fibrosis.
