Repair Following injury and inflammation repair processes occur.
These often result in the formation of granulation tissue which undergoes organisation to fibrous tissue. Granulation tissue is composed of many new capillaries lined by flat endothelial cells, surrounded by fibroblasts producing collagen. This forms a basket-weave pattern. As the tissue matures the collagen fibres predominate and the tissue appears less vascular. . . . These sections are of vascular granulation tissue developing at the site of a healing injury following a dog bite.
