Im confused about the terms resolution and regeneration. In the danish textbook they describe resolution as a complete healing with return to normal tissue function but in Robbins he calls this healing outcome regeneration. Robbins don’t even mention resolution but in other texts I seen resolution mentioned as a part of the healing cascade. So what exactly is the meaning of resolution and regeneration?
regeneration
Q: What is the definition of resolution, regeneration and scarring/fibrosis in relation to the healing process and inflammation? When do each process occur? Are there any examples of complete healing processes where no sign of the damage remains, e.g. apoptosis?
