Tissue repair involves a variety of cells, each with specific functions:
Macrophages: These cells are crucial for clearing debris and releasing cytokines that initiate and sustain the repair process. Fibroblasts: These cells synthesize collagen and other extracellular matrix components essential for new tissue formation. Endothelial Cells: These cells are responsible for forming new blood vessels through angiogenesis. Epithelial Cells: In tissues like the skin and mucous membranes, epithelial cells proliferate to cover the wound surface.
