Blue lines represent the linear progression from initial insult to tissue restoration. A fatal loop is found in diseases such as cancer, where the processes are restimulated, and leads to chronic conditions or a “wound that never heals”. The lines in red show pathways that contribute to perpetuation of chronic disease and failure to resolve tissue-restoration processes correctly.
