Comparison of the cellular events that occur during wound healing and organ regeneration. The four cellular events highlighted in this study were compared to those that occur during intestine regeneration [14, 16, 19, 24]. For this the magnitude of the events was assigned a relative value between 0 and 5 at the various time points where they had been studied. Each event shows a particular expression profile, nonetheless, a stunning similarity is observed between regeneration and wound healing in both the temporal pattern of the event and the peak of occurrence. Additional details provided in the text. (A) Spindle-like structure (SLS) formation, (B) cell proliferation, (C) Extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and (D) increase in spherulocyte population.
