In surgical tissue recovery, focus is on controlling infection, managing inflammation, and ensuring wound closure. Beneath the surface—anatomically and biologically— the extracellular matrix (ECM) is undergoing remodeling ensure long-term tissue integrity. The ECM is a dynamic, biologically active network that orchestrates the entire ...
It plays a pivotal role in the host defense system by degrading bacterial proteins, remodeling extracellular matrices, and shaping inflammatory responses. However, the same proteolytic activity that protects against pathogens can, when unregulated, contribute to tissue injury, autoimmune inflammation, and chronic disease progression. ...
By degrading harmful entities, elastase helps in modulating immune responses and tissue repair. Elastase and Tissue Remodeling Elastase's ability to degrade elastin makes it significant in tissue remodeling and repair. ...
While it was first discovered in gliomas (a type of brain tumor), TNC protein is present in a variety of tissues, especially during embryonic development and tissue remodeling after injury. ...
They are present in most connective tissues. MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-8, MMP-9, MMP-12, MMP-13, and MT1-MMP and MT3-MMP are expressed in various vascular tissues and cells. ...
Serving as intermediaries, they synchronize various cell functions to elicit the body's defense mechanisms against infections, tissue restoration, and wound healing. Types of Cytokines Cytokines are classified into various families based on their structural similarities and biological functions. ...
Features of Nano Dressings Dressing is a kind of medical material that can replace damaged skin or tissue, and can promote wound healing and tissue repair, such as gauze, bandage, sponge. ...
Obesity is caused by excessive expansion of white adipose tissue. When nutrient intake is excessive, adipose tissue expands through either adipocyte hypertrophy or hyperplasia. Among them, adipocyte hyperplasia can effectively avoid pathological adipose tissue remodeling, thus maintaining the normal metabolic function of adipose ...
Chitinase 3-like-1 (CHI3L1) is a member of the 18 glycosyl hydrolase gene family that is readily detected in the circulation of normal individuals and expressed at exaggerated levels in the circulation of individuals with diseases characterized by inflammation, tissue remodeling and or cancers. Discoveries Recent studies from our laboratory have demonstrated ...
“At the same time, gelatin-based polymers have advantages in cell attachment and tissue remodeling, but insufficient mechanical strength in regenerating hard tissues such as tendons. ...

Prolotherapy has been a part of modern orthopedic practices since the 1940s. It is growing in popularity not just in the U.S., but globally as well. Also known as “regenerative injection therapy” (RIT), prolotherapy is a procedure used to treat musculoskeletal conditions including tendinopathies, osteoarthritis, and chronic pain of the cervical spine, lumbar spine, and pelvis (Sit et ...
Scientists typically characterize macrophages based on various surface markers and secreted factors that are closely associated with inflammation pathogen defense, and tumor defense (M1), anti-inflammation and wound healing (M2a), Immunoregulation (M2b), Immunosuppression and tissue remodeling (M2c), and angiogenesis and tumor promotion (M2d) [1]. ...
Publication Summary: Compound induced chronic liver injury can lead to initiation of profibrotic processes resulting in sustained production of growth factors and profibrotic cytokines where inflammation, tissue remodeling and repair pathways are activated simultaneously to counteract the injury. ...
