What Are the Implications of Tissue Dynamics in Disease Progression?
The dynamic nature of tissues has significant implications for disease progression. For example, in fibrosis, excessive ECM production and deposition lead to tissue stiffening and loss of function. Understanding these dynamic changes can help in developing interventions to reverse or halt disease progression. Similarly, in atherosclerosis, dynamic interactions between endothelial cells and immune cells contribute to plaque formation and progression.
