Objective This study determined how scar formation develops in a non-human primate
model of fetal skin repair. Summary Background Data A transition from healing scarlessly to
healing with scar formation characterizes skin repair in rat and sheep fetuses. New
knowledge of the regulatory processes occurring in the fetal wound at the initial stages of
scar formation may provide insights into the early mechanisms of scar forrnation,
