Overview

A biological tissue is an organised assembly of cells, together with the extracellular matrix they secrete, that acts as a coordinated structural and functional unit within an organism. Tissues occupy the level of organisation between individual cells and whole organs, and their properties emerge from cell type, matrix composition, and three-dimensional architecture. In animals the principal classes are epithelial tissue, which lines and covers surfaces; connective tissue, including bone, cartilage, and blood, which supports and connects; muscle tissue, which generates force; and nervous tissue, which conducts signals. The extracellular matrix provides mechanical support, anchors cells, and conveys biochemical and physical cues that regulate cell behaviour. The optical, mechanical, and biochemical characteristics of tissue determine both how it functions and how it can be examined, since features such as light scattering complicate imaging and have motivated techniques like tissue optical clearing to render specimens transparent for analysis. Understanding tissue structure underpins histology, pathology, and biomedical diagnostics. It also grounds tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, in which cells, scaffolds such as calcium phosphate constructs, and signalling factors are combined to repair or replace damaged bone and other tissues. Research spans tissue characterisation, the design of biomaterials that mimic native matrix, and methods to restore tissue structure and function.
