Tissue Repair — General Pathology

General Pathology · Basic Sciences

How it begins

La reparación tisular es el proceso mediante el cual el organismo reemplaza o restituye los tejidos dañados por lesión o muerte celular. Es la respuesta natural que sigue a toda lesión tisular y que se inicia de forma solapada con la fase de inflamación, constituyendo junto a ella un proceso integrado de respuesta al daño.
