    Tissue remodeling involves structural and functional changes in organs due to environmental conditions, crucial for both repair and disease progression.

  • 2

    Core molecular pathways like TGF-β signaling and the MMPs/TIMPs system are essential for regulating extracellular matrix turnover and fibroblast activation.

  • 3

    Pathological remodeling is characterized by persistent inflammation, leading to fibroblast activation and an imbalance in ECM synthesis and degradation.

  • 4

    Emerging mechanisms, including mechanotransduction and metabolic reprogramming, play significant roles in tissue remodeling alongside classical pathways.

  • 5

    Understanding shared mechanisms of tissue remodeling across organs can inform the development of targeted therapeutic strategies for chronic diseases.
