Can Tissue Response Be Modulated for Therapeutic Purposes?
Yes, understanding tissue response mechanisms has led to the development of various therapeutic strategies. Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as NSAIDs and corticosteroids, are commonly used to reduce inflammation and pain. Biologics, which are engineered molecules that target specific components of the immune response, have been developed to treat autoimmune diseases and chronic inflammatory conditions. Additionally, advances in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine aim to enhance tissue repair and regeneration using stem cells and biomaterials.
