Fibrocytes are part of the connective tissue. They are normally in a resting state and have irregular projections that join with the projections of other fibrocytes to give connective tissue three-dimensional strength. When needed, such as after mechanical injury, fibrocytes can “awaken” from their dormancy and revert to fibroblasts by dividing to synthesize components of … Fibrocyte: Structure, Function & Diseases
In biology, proliferation refers to the reproduction and growth of cells. In this process, cells proliferate by cell divisions and grow by growing to their genetically intended size and shape. Proliferation plays a major role in humans, especially during the embryonic and growth phases, and thereafter mainly for the replenishment of rejected cells in certain … Proliferation: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
During the epithelialization phase of wound healing, mitosis takes place, closing the resulting tissue defect with new epithelial cells and initiating the subsequent phase of scar formation. The epithelization phase follows the granulation phase and hardens the granulation tissue formed up to that point. Excessive processes of epithelialization can cause wound healing disorders to occur … Epithelialization Phase: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
