Recent advances allow adult wounds to heal in a similar fashion to the regenerative healing that is also present during fetal development. Research suggests that tissue loss or injury that occurs during early fetal development can be corrected by a regenerative mechanism since fetal wound healing appears to occur without scar formation.1 However, later in the gestational development there is a transition from the r
