What role do anti-inflammatory macrophages play in tissue repair?

Tissue anti-inflammatory macrophages are crucial for maintaining local intestinal homeostasis. They achieve this by eliminating apoptotic or senescent cells and aiding in tissue remodeling (1, 2).

What can chronic or excessive tissue repair lead to?

Chronic or excessive tissue repair can cause fibrosis, which can lead to organ failure and death (3).

Which T cells are crucial for tissue repair?

The proper regulation of CD4+ Th2 cells is crucial and ensures tissue repair without fibrosis (3).
