The ulcers were indeed almost gone, with granulation tissue forming nicely over the few that still remained.
They form a loose aggregate of cells, interspersed with small blood vessels, known as granulation tissue.
In wild-type mice, the granulation tissue had formed at the edge and base of the wound.
Later, increasing numbers of fibroblasts migrate into the wound to form granulation tissue.
This condition will usually go away in about a week, but if not, your pediatrician may need to cauterize the granulation tissue.
If granulation tissue grows over the injured site, it can cause stenosis of the airway, after a week to a month.
It is used as a cauterizing agent, for example to remove granulation tissue around a stoma.
The healing process is completed when epithelium grows in from the edge and covers the granulation tissue.
Then, after the granulation tissue formed, a new horror was in store for me - contracture.
Cell migration is essential for the formation of granulation tissue.
