The phrase "afflicted tissues" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in medical or biological contexts to describe tissues that are suffering from a disease or injury.
Example: "The study focused on the healing process of afflicted tissues in patients recovering from surgery."
Alternatives: "damaged tissues" or "injured tissues".
Symptoms typically include generalized hives, itchiness, flushing, or swelling (angioedema) of the afflicted tissues.
Activated p38MAPK contributes to the activation of numerous transcription factors which promote events leading to cell cycle arrest, differentiation, apoptosis and inflammation in the afflicted tissues (for a review, [28], [48]).
It has been proposed that macrolides (the type of antibiotic given in this experiment) work by recruiting immune cells to carry the antibiotic to the afflicted tissue [ 93, 94].
In response to tissue injury (Coussens and Werb, 2002), a multifactorial network of chemical signals initiate and maintain a host response designed to 'heal' the afflicted tissue involving activation and directed migration of leukocytes (neutrophils, monocytes and eosinophils) from the venous system to sites of damage, and tissue mast cells also play a significant role.
Cancer rarely afflicts these tissues.
This strategy has expanded our understanding of cells, but has often failed to lead to new therapies to treat the diseases and disorders that can afflict our tissues.
Heparanase, for instance, was shown to be abundant in the colonic epithelium of patients with IBD in contrast to normal colonic tissue or colonic tissue afflicted by infectious colitis, 21 and its overexpression in mice led to an increase in colitis via enhanced macrophage activation.
In the last decade, the field of tissue engineering has emerged as a potential therapeutic strategy for the regeneration and/or repair of various tissues afflicted by cardiovascular disease, such as myocardial infarction (MI) or peripheral artery disease (PAD).
In 1892, the Russian botanist Dmitri Ivanovsky noticed that suspensions of plant tissues afflicted with mosaic tobacco disease were still infectious after passage through ceramic filters that retained bacteria.
Prostaglandins E2 and F2 α play major roles in the regulation of the cyclic changes of the endometrium and are also involved in diseases afflicting this tissue, in particular endometriosis.
Our results suggest that similar to other sepsis-afflicted tissues, C5a plays a major role in sepsis-induced destruction of the nervous system and apparently IVIg treatment reduces complement-based anaphylatoxin activity and ameliorates septic encephalopathy presumably through this mechanism of action.
