Call for Papers

This is as opposed to formation of fibrous tissue as a normal constituent of an organ or tissue. Scarring is confluent fibrosis that obliterates the architecture of the underlying organ or tissue. There are many types of fibrosis, such as Cystic fibrosis, Cirrhosis , Endomyocardial fibrosis, Myelofibrosis, Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis and so on.
