Study Notes

Understanding Granulation Tissue and Scar Formation

Granulation tissue is formed after tissue injury, characterized by angiogenesis and fibroblast proliferation, and has a pink, soft, granular appearance.
The granulation tissue contains newly formed small blood vessels originating from preexisting blood vessels and immature vessels with leaky interendothelial junctions, causing edema.
Fibroblasts in granulation tissue synthesize Type III collagen, and myofibroblasts are important in wound contraction.
Weeks to months after injury, granulation tissue transforms into a mature scar, with an increase in collagen and other extracellular matrix proteins, and a decrease in fibroblasts and vascularity.
Scar formation involves injury-induced inflammation, vascularized granulation tissue, and deposition of extracellular matrix to form the scar.
Cutaneous wound healing by first intention involves regeneration with wound edges close together, while healing by second intention involves more scarring and less regeneration with farther apart wound edges.
Progenitor cells have unlimited proliferative capacity and undergo asymmetric replication, retaining self-renewing capacity while the other cell enters a differentiation pathway.
Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent and can be isolated from blastocysts, potentially used for therapeutic cloning and producing knockout mice.
Adult stem cells have a more restricted differentiation capacity and are generally lineage-specific, but stem cells with broad differentiation potential have been found in various adult tissues.
Stem cell niches are specific locations in tissues where stem cells are found, including crypts in the intestine, hair follicle bulge, and canals of Hering in the liver.
