What Role Do Immune Cells Play in Tissue Response?
Immune cells are crucial for the tissue response to injury or infection. Neutrophils are among the first responders and are highly effective at phagocytizing bacteria and debris. Macrophages follow and help in clearing dead cells and promoting tissue repair by secreting growth factors. Lymphocytes, particularly T-cells and B-cells, play a role in chronic inflammation and adaptive immunity. These cells help in identifying specific pathogens and mounting a targeted response.
