Medical - Medical (general)
English term or phrase: to involute
Extrait du texte :

"A 'virgin' breast, before pregnancy, is very different to a fully functioning, milk-producing breast. With lactation, the breast becomes fully differentiated, and once this stage is over, it involutes. This cycle of proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis also happens in every menstrual cycle and in a more dramatic form during pregnancy."

Que signifie exactement le verbe "involute" ? Je suppose qu'il s'agit d'une régression, que cette évolution fonctionne par cycles, mais je suis très dubitative. Merci d'avance pour votre aide...
