Tissue remodeling

[1] A myocardial infarction induces tissue remodeling of the heart in a three-phase process: inflammation, proliferation, and maturation.

In the proliferation phase, inflammatory cells die by apoptosis, being replaced by myofibroblasts which produce large amounts of collagen.

[2] By contrast, aerobic exercise can produce beneficial cardiac tissue remodeling in those suffering from left ventricular hypertrophy.

[3] Programmed cellular senescence contributes to beneficial tissue remodeling during embryonic development of the fetus.

[5] Vascular remodeling refers to a compensatory change in blood vessel walls due to plaque growth.
