Anti-Fibrotic Pathways

Meaning

Anti-Fibrotic Pathways represent the intrinsic biological processes within the body that actively work to prevent, slow, or reverse the formation of excess fibrous connective tissue, a condition known as fibrosis. This crucial physiological response maintains the normal architecture and function of organs, contrasting the pathological buildup of extracellular matrix components that can impair hormonal signaling and overall organ health. Understanding these pathways is fundamental to preserving tissue integrity, which is especially relevant in age-related hormonal decline and associated organ remodeling.
