Keloid it may ulcerate. Removing the scar is one treatment option; however, it may result in more severe consequences: the probability that the resulting surgery scar will also become a keloid is high, usually greater than 50%. Laser treatment has also been used with varying degrees of success. Keloids form within scar tissue. Collagen, used in wound repair, tends to overgrow in this area, sometimes producing a lump many times larger than that of the original scar. They can also range in color from pink to red. Although they usually occur at the site of an injury, keloids can also arise
Oral mucosa tissue engineering for controlling connective tissue formation. Examples of synthetic scaffolds are: Historical use of electrospinning to produce synthetic scaffolds dates back to at least the late 1980s when Simon showed that technology could be used to produced nano- and submicron-scale fibrous scaffolds from polymer solutions specifically intended for use as "in vitro" cell and tissue substrates. This early use of electrospun lattices for cell culture and tissue engineering showed that various cell types would adhere to and proliferate upon polycarbonate fibers. It was noted that as opposed to the flattened morphology typically seen in 2D culture, cells grown on the electrospun
