Anabolic Tissue Remodeling

Meaning

The continuous, constructive biological process where damaged or aged cellular components and extracellular matrix materials are systematically broken down and replaced with new, functional tissue structures. This anabolic phase, which is balanced by catabolism, is essential for maintaining the structural integrity and optimal function of high-turnover tissues like muscle, bone, and skin. It represents the body’s intrinsic capacity for self-repair and adaptation to stress.
