Tissue injury initiates a cascade of biological responses aimed at restoring integrity and function. This book focuses on the cellular and extracellular events following injury, including inflammation, regeneration, fibrosis, and scarring. It explores mechanisms of acute and chronic inflammation, vascular changes, and the role of immune mediators. The healing process in various tissues—epithelial, muscular, and nervous—is addressed in relation to their regenerative capacity. The text highlights pathological deviations such as delayed healing and excessive fibrosis. Diagrams, microscopic images, and clinical correlations make this resource valuable for understanding repair processes in both trauma and disease contexts.
Adley Burton focuses on the biological processes of tissue repair, fibrosis, and regeneration following cellular injury. His research blends histological techniques with molecular assays to trace recovery patterns in various organ systems. He trains pathology trainees on wound healing dynamics and chronic injury outcomes. He collaborates with clinical teams to correlate biopsy findings with patient recovery trajectories. His areas of study include scarring patterns, regeneration signaling, and injury-induced remodeling.
