Edema and fluid dynamics in connective tissue remodelling
Rolf K Reed, Åsa Lidén, Kristofer Rubin
Key takeaways
- 01This review discusses fluid exchange in loose connective tissue
- 02Fluid dynamics are relevant to inflammation, fibrosis, and tumors
- 03Connective tissue processes can offer insights into heart fibrosis
Fluid dynamics and swelling in connective tissue are key factors in inflammation, fibrosis, and tumor growth, including in the heart.
Abstract
The review describes the role of loose connective tissues with focus on transcapillary exchange and edema formation with relevance for inflammation, fibrosis and tumors. Based on studies in these tissues, comparisons are made to the fibrotic processes in the heart.
