Tissue Homeostasis

Meaning

The dynamic state of internal balance and self-regulation maintained by a specific tissue or organ, ensuring its stable function and structural integrity despite external fluctuations. This equilibrium involves the precise coordination of cellular processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and the maintenance of the extracellular matrix. Optimal tissue homeostasis is a prerequisite for longevity and resistance to pathology.
