Tissue Repair Mechanisms

Meaning

Tissue Repair Mechanisms encompass the complex, coordinated biological processes by which damaged or senescent cells and extracellular matrix components are replaced or restored to maintain functional tissue integrity. These mechanisms are crucial for recovery from injury, daily wear-and-tear, and the counteraction of age-related degenerative changes. The efficiency of these processes is heavily dependent on the systemic availability of anabolic hormones and growth factors.
