Skin
The epidermis is a regenerative tissue. After excision, it regenerates spontaneously. Reversible injury. No contraction.
![Page 9: A theory of induced regeneration in adults. Note: [C, …dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/67471/20-441-fall...A theory of induced regeneration in adults. Note: [C, S, R] data](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060304/5f0924f57e708231d4257025/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The dermis is a nonregenerative tissue in the adult. After excision, it does not regenerate spontaneously. Irreversible injury. Contraction occurs with scar formation.

Peripheral nerve
The myelin sheath is a regenerative tissue. Following nerve crushing with myelin disruption, the myelin regenerates spontaneously. Reversible injury. No contraction.
crushed nerve heals spontaneously by regeneration
![Page 11: A theory of induced regeneration in adults. Note: [C, …dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/67471/20-441-fall...A theory of induced regeneration in adults.

Peripheral nerve
The endoneurial stroma is a nonregenerativetissue.Following transection, it forms neural scar (neuroma). Irreversible injury. Contraction occurs.
transected nerve heals spontaneously by contraction and neuroma(neural scar) formation

Conclusion: Inverse relation between contraction and
regeneration• During adult healing, no contraction
is observed following injury to epithelia or basement membrane.
• Contraction is only observed following injury to stroma.
• Contraction only observed following irreversible injury.

Quantitative description of healing processes
• Initial wound area is Ao
• Wound eventually closes up spontaneously. Final area is Af.
• Final wound area is distributed among fractions that closed by contraction (%C), scar formation (%S) or regeneration (%R).
• This is the configuration of the final state.• Wound closure rule:
C + S + R = 100

c. Scar formation vs inhibition of contraction
Data in table will show: Inhibition of contraction, even modest, leads to
virtual abolition of scarScar appears to be a by-product of
contraction

d. Impaired healing of skin wounds
Dermis-free wounds in: • genetically diabetic mouse• genetically obese mouse• infected wounds• mechanically splinted• treated with steroidsall impaired-healing wounds showed strong
delay in contraction but not regeneration

4. Theory: Selective inhibition of contraction
![Page 47: A theory of induced regeneration in adults. Note: [C, …dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/67471/20-441-fall...A theory of induced regeneration in adults.

Conclusions
1. During development, contraction increases in importance, while regeneration corespondingly decreases (rana catesbeiana).
2. Certain scaffolds block contraction “selectively” and induce partial regeneration in adult mammals (rodents, swine, human).
3. Scar is abolished when contraction is blocked.
4. Impaired healing blocks contraction but does not induce regeneration.

• Inhibition of contraction is necessary but does not suffice to induce regeneration
∆R > 0 and S → 0 if ∆C < 0

Mechanism of contraction inhibition by DRT scaffold in skin wound
• Scaffold does not aggregate platelets(during its preparation, abolish collagen banding but not triple helix). Hypothesis: Downregulate release of TGF-β.
• Scaffold binds TGF- β1 avidly (but nonspecifically). Hypothesis: Downregulatesoluble cytokine concentration.
• Scaffold binds myofibroblasts extensively. Hypothesis: myofibroblast contractile axes disoriented, lose vectorial character.
• Scaffold competitively inhibits natural ECM
