    Capillary microscopy revealed that sympathetic innervation of vessels in burn scars and grafts only occurs in fully matured scars. This suggests scar reinnervation is linked to scar maturation processes.

    Area of Science:

    • Regenerative medicine
    • Vascular biology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Hypertrophic scars and grafts present challenges in microcirculation and innervation.
    • Understanding scar maturation is crucial for improving tissue healing and function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To document the microcirculation of post-burn hypertrophic scars and grafts using capillary microscopy.
    • To investigate the relationship between scar maturation and sympathetic innervation of vessels.

    Main Methods:

    • Capillary microscopy was employed to visualize microcirculation in scars and grafts.
    • Scars and grafts were analyzed at various stages of maturity.

    Main Results:

    • Microcirculation patterns in hypertrophic scars and grafts were documented.

  • Sympathetic innervation of larger vessels was observed exclusively in fully matured scars.

    • Conclusions:

    • Scar maturation is associated with the reinnervation of underlying and embedded vessels.
    • Findings suggest a correlation between scar reinnervation and the maturation process.
