  2. Granulation tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granulation_tissue

    Granulation tissue is composed of tissue matrix supporting a variety of cell types, [3] most of which can be associated with one of the following functions: formation of extracellular matrix; operation of the immune system; vascularisation; An excess of granulation tissue (caro luxurians) is informally referred to as hypergranulation or "proud ...

  3. Granuloma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granuloma

    Since a small nodule can represent any tissue from a harmless nevus to a malignant tumor, this use of the term is not very specific. Examples of this use of the term granuloma are the lesions known as vocal cord granuloma (known as contact granuloma ), pyogenic granuloma , and intubation granuloma , all of which are examples of granulation ...

  4. Pannus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pannus

    Pannus tissue is composed of aggressive macrophage- and fibroblast-like mesenchymal cells, macrophage-like cells and other inflammatory cells that release collagenolytic enzymes. [ 3 ] In people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis , pannus tissue eventually forms in the joint affected by the disease, causing bony erosion and cartilage loss via ...

  5. Connective tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connective_tissue

    Fibromuscular tissue is made up of fibrous tissue and muscular tissue. New vascularised connective tissue that forms in the process of wound healing is termed granulation tissue. [13] All of the special connective tissue types have been included as a subset of fascia in the fascial system, with blood and lymph classed as liquid fascia. [14] [15]

  6. Periapical granuloma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periapical_granuloma

    Periapical granuloma, [1] also sometimes referred to as a radicular granuloma or apical granuloma, is an inflammation at the tip of a dead (nonvital) tooth. It is a lesion or mass that typically starts out as an epithelial lined cyst, and undergoes an inward curvature that results in inflammation of granulation tissue at the root tips of a dead tooth.

  7. Mast cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mast_cell

    A mast cell (also known as a mastocyte or a labrocyte [1]) is a resident cell of connective tissue that contains many granules rich in histamine and heparin.Specifically, it is a type of granulocyte derived from the myeloid stem cell that is a part of the immune and neuroimmune systems.

    However, their large size and extensive membrane ruffling make them better equipped to clear up larger particles. They utilize activated CR3s to ingest complement-opsonized targets. Non-osteoclast MGCs are also responsible for the clearance of cell debris, which is necessary for tissue remodeling after injuries.

  9. Hyaluronic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyaluronic_acid

    Granulation tissue is the perfused, fibrous connective tissue that replaces a fibrin clot in healing wounds. It typically grows from the base of a wound and is able to fill wounds of almost any size it heals. HA is abundant in granulation tissue matrix.
