Tissue Remodeling Processes

Meaning

Tissue remodeling processes encompass the continuous, dynamic physiological mechanisms by which the body breaks down old, damaged cellular components and replaces them with new, healthy tissue. This essential biological activity is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity and functional capacity of organs, muscle, bone, and skin throughout life. In the hormonal context, these processes are heavily regulated by endocrine signals, particularly growth hormone, sex steroids, and thyroid hormones, which dictate the rate and quality of repair and regeneration.
