After injury, our body rapidly repairs the damage, often leaving behind a stiff scar. Scarring is a clinical burden because affected organs are losing vital functions. A scarred heart cannot pump properly, scarred lung tissue impairs proper gas exchange,

受伤后，我们的身体迅速修复了伤害，通常会留下僵硬的疤痕。疤痕是一种临床负担，因为受影响的器官正在失去重要功能。伤痕累累的心无法正确抽水，疤痕组织会损害适当的气体交换，
