Contraction blocking during wound healing of three injured organs leads to absence of scar and induction of regeneration

<jats:p>We report the central role of mechanical contraction in healing of wounds in animal models, as well as in humans. Our evidence has been collected from studies of excised skin wounds as well as with the transected peripheral neve and the excised conjunctiva. We have observed that, follo...
