Part II - Inflammation
Armando Hasudungan・2 minutes read
Cytokines and inflammatory mediators drive tissue repair by stimulating fibroblast proliferation, collagen synthesis, and pathogen destruction, inducing inflammation characterized by redness, heat, swelling, pain, and immune cell involvement.
Insights
- Cytokines play a crucial role in tissue repair by encouraging fibroblasts to grow and produce collagen, aiding in the healing process.
- Inflammatory mediators, including complement proteins and antibodies, are vital for detecting and eliminating pathogens, leading to inflammation and tissue repair, with immune cells being essential in both innate and adaptive immune responses.
