  2. Granulation tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granulation_tissue

    Granulation tissue typically grows from the base of a wound and is able to fill wounds of almost any size. Examples of granulation tissue can be seen in pyogenic granulomas and pulp polyps . Its histological appearance is characterized by proliferation of fibroblasts and thin-walled, delicate capillaries ( angiogenesis ), and infiltrated ...

  3. Wound healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_healing

    Granulation tissue functions as rudimentary tissue, and begins to appear in the wound already during the inflammatory phase, two to five days post wounding, and continues growing until the wound bed is covered. Granulation tissue consists of new blood vessels, fibroblasts, inflammatory cells, endothelial cells, myofibroblasts, and the ...

  4. Myofibroblast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myofibroblast

    Myofibroblasts were first identified in granulation tissue during skin wound healing. [2] Typically, these cells are found in granulation tissue, scar tissue (fibrosis) and the stroma of tumours. They also line the gastrointestinal tract, wherein they regulate the shapes of crypts and villi.

  5. Diabetic foot ulcer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_foot_ulcer

    In diabetic wounds, the inflammatory phase of the healing process is prolonged, delaying the formation of mature granulation tissue and reducing the healing wound's tensile strength. [ 3 ] Treatment of diabetic foot ulcers includes blood sugar control, removal of dead tissue from the wound , wound dressings , and removing pressure from the ...

  6. Chronic wound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_wound

    A greater amount of exudate and necrotic tissue in a wound increases likelihood of infection by serving as a medium for bacterial growth away from the host's defenses. [14] Since bacteria thrive on dead tissue, wounds are often surgically debrided to remove the devitalized tissue. [38]

  7. Healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healing

    In the proliferative phase, immature granulation tissue containing plump, active fibroblasts forms. Fibroblasts quickly produce abundant type III collagen, which fills the defect left by an open wound. Granulation tissue moves, as a wave, from the border of the injury towards the center. [citation needed]

  8. Wound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound

    Wounds that cannot be closed primarily due to substantial tissue loss can be healed by secondary intention, a process in which the wound is allowed to fill-in over time through natural physiologic processes. When healing by secondary intention, granulation tissue grows in from the wound edges slowly over time to restore integrity of the skin.

  9. Ulcer (dermatology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulcer_(dermatology)

    Chronic ulcer symptoms usually include increasing pain, friable granulation tissue, foul odour, and wound breakdown instead of healing. [3] Symptoms tend to worsen once the wound has become infected. Venous skin ulcers that may appear on the lower leg, above the calf or on the lower ankle usually cause achy and swollen legs.
