Tissue Repair Signaling encompasses the complex cascade of molecular events initiated following injury or cellular damage that orchestrates the recruitment of necessary cellular components and the remodeling of the extracellular matrix. This signaling network directs processes like inflammation resolution, proliferation, and scar formation to restore functional tissue architecture. Hormones often modulate the intensity and duration of these signals.
Origin
This concept integrates immunology, endocrinology, and cell biology, recognizing that tissue restoration is not a passive event but an actively controlled sequence of biochemical communication. It moves beyond simple wound healing to address microscopic tissue maintenance.
Mechanism
Initial injury triggers the release of local growth factors, cytokines, and chemokines, which activate specific cellular receptors on local fibroblasts and progenitor cells. Growth Hormone and IGF-1 often play supportive roles in promoting the necessary cellular proliferation and matrix synthesis phases. Effective repair requires a precise temporal sequence where inflammatory signals transition smoothly into proliferative and remodeling phases.
