Scars form when the extracellular matrix (ECM) is disrupted during wound healing, leading to an overabundance of collagen that impedes normal skin functions. This process, known as fibrosis, can also affect internal organs, but ongoing research aims to improve wound healing and reduce scar tissue formation.
