The purpose of this report is to call attention to the fetal wound healing process as a blueprint for ideal tissue repair. Wound healing in the fetus is fundamentally different from healing in the adult. Fetal tissue repair occurs rapidly and in the absence of scar formation. Because scarring and fibrosis dominate some diseases in every area of medicine, an understanding of fetal wound healing should help develop therapeutic strategies to avert the devastating consequences of excessive scar formation.
本报告的目的是提请关注胎儿伤口愈合过程，将其作为理想组织修复的蓝本。胎儿的伤口愈合与成人的愈合有着根本的不同。胎儿组织修复迅速且不会形成瘢痕。由于瘢痕形成和纤维化在医学各个领域的一些疾病中占主导地位，了解胎儿伤口愈合应有助于制定治疗策略，以避免过度瘢痕形成带来的毁灭性后果。
