This process occurs in the tunica albuginea around the corpora cavernosa in Peyronie's disease. Myofibroblasts contribute to this process when they fail to disappear from granulation tissue via apoptosis. In this process, proteins are oriented parallel to each other rather than being oriented perpendicular to each other in the proper "basket-weave" manner. This process can produce both "hypertrophic" products and keloids.

It's not inflammation, but the muscle of the heart undergoes this process after a myocardial infarction, and the tissues of the liver undergo this process in patients with cirrhosis. For 10 points, name this process in which excess connective tissue accumulates in response to events like injuries to the skin.
