Driving regeneration, instead of healing, in adult mammals: the decisive role of resident macrophages through efferocytosis
Abstract Tissue repair after lesion usually leads to scar healing and thus loss of function in adult mammals. In contrast, other adult vertebrates such as amphibians have the ability to regenerate and restore tissue homeostasis after lesion. Understanding the control of the repair outcome is thus a...
