Tissue Remodeling
Tissue remodeling is the process by which tissues in the body undergo structural changes in response to various stimuli, such as injury, stress, or normal growth. This process involves the breakdown and rebuilding of extracellular matrix components, allowing tissues to adapt to new conditions. It plays a crucial role in healing wounds and maintaining tissue health.
During tissue remodeling, cells like fibroblasts and macrophages are activated to produce new proteins and remove damaged ones. This dynamic process ensures that tissues remain functional and can recover from damage, contributing to overall homeostasis in the body.
