In the majority of mammals, the process of healing is rapid but alters the normal functioning of the tisssue, unlike regeneration.
The Animal Phenotyping (ANEXPLO) and Imaging & Cytometry (TRI) platforms of Genotoul are associated to a recent publication in Scientific Reports, showing that painkillers, currently used, direct tissue repair towards healing rather than regeneration.
These findings may involve reviewing the post-operative pain management strategy.
