title: Regeneration and Cicatrization.
abstract: Cicatricial tissue, being the local center of sclerosis, replaces the wound or focus of cell death. Scarring is caused by various types of injuries, including operations, as well as by a number of diseases. Scarring often culminates in the formation of strictures and other complications. Integrated stimulation of regeneration that takes the role of the immune system into account, in conjunction with the prescription of enzyme preparations possessing proteolytic activity, can be used to reduce the severity of sclerosis of damaged tissues.
