Tissue Repair Flashcards
Healing
Minimal residual effect
Repair
Occurs with tissue loss. It is the restoration of tissue architecture and function after injury
Repair by two reactions
Regeneration
Maturation of stem cells
Cells and tissue regeneration
Cell proliferation
Growth factors
Intrinsuc proliferative capacity
Three groups of tissue groups
Labile
Stabile
Permanent
Signals of proliferation growth factors
Multiple cell types
Produced by cells near the site of damage
Signalling pathways : proteins: cell cycle and release blocks on checkpoints
Tissue stem cells
Supplement proliferation of residual cells
Live in specialized niches
Triggered by injury
Differentiate into mature cells that repopulate the injured tissue
Repair by connective tissue (scar formation)
A response that patches rather than restores. If the tissue injury is - severe/ chronic - to parenchymal cells - is non dividing cell
Steps in scar formation
Angiogenesis
Formulation of granulation tissue
Remodelling of connective tissues
Deposition of connective tissue
- Migration and proliferation of fibroblasts: site of injury
- Deposition of ECM proteins produced by these cells
Orchestrated by cyyokine and growth factors
Two clinically significant types of repair
Healing of skin wounds
Fibrosis in injured parenchymal groups
Abnormalities in tissue repair
Inadequate formation of granulation tissue of formation of scar
Excessive formation of components of repair
Exuberant granulation contractured
