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. ...
