An emerging hypothesis is that the regeneration potential is linked to the fibroproliferative response of the injured tissue. A) The development of scar following injury results in tissue (cardiac) dysfunction. The ability of an injured heart to regenerate results in improvement of cardiac function. B) Models suggest there is a balance between scar formation and regeneration. These models support the notion that scar formation impairs regeneration and a regenerating tissue lacks scar.
