Pharmacological reactivity of granulation tissue
Abstract:
The contractile system of the myofibroblast has well defined characteristics. The findings suggest the presence of 5-hydroxytryptaminergic as well as alpha and beta-adreno-receptors, although both appear to be immature. It does not have cholinergic or histaminergic receptors. The contractile system is inhibited by cytochalasin B and is not sensitive to colchicine. The contractile machinery is suggested to be the microfilament system, as it occurs in the contractile apparatus of primitive cells. This is in accordance with the role of myofibroblasts in granulation tissue neoformation.

Phases of Wound Repair
Formation of Blood Clot
In case of deep injuries, trauma to blood vessels results in blood loss. In the meantime, phospholipids released from the ruptured endothelial cellular membrane are converted into arachidonic...
Drug-Receptor Interactions
Several parameters, such as the drug's affinity for its receptor and its efficacy, which is its ability to activate the receptor, determine the drug's effect on the tissue.
Principles of Drug Action
Drugs can be agonists or antagonists. Like the endogenous ligands, agonists always bind and activate the target to produce a cellular response. Agonist binding induces a conformational change which in turn...
Inflammatory Response
Inflammation can be triggered by various stimuli, such as impact, abrasion, chemical irritation, infections, and extreme hot or cold temperatures. These can damage cells and connective tissue fibers,...
