Granulation tissue is new connective tissue and microscopic blood vessels that form on the surfaces of a wound during the healing process. Granulation tissue typically grows from the base of a wound and is able to fill wounds of almost any size. Examples of granulation tissue can be seen in pyogenic granulomas and pulp polyps . Its histological appearance is characterized by proliferation of fibroblasts and thin-walled, delicate capillaries ( angiogenesis ), and infiltrated inflammatory cells in a loose extracellular matrix.

The extracellular matrix of granulation tissue is created and modified by fibroblasts . Initially, it consists of a network of type-III collagen , a weaker form of
24-402: Is necessary both to aid the healing process and to protect against invading pathogens, as the wound often does not have an effective skin barrier to act as a first line of defense. It is necessary for a network of blood vessels to be established as soon as possible to provide the growing tissue with nutrients, to take away cellular wastes, and transport new leukocytes to the area.

The main immune cells active in the tissue are macrophages and neutrophils , although other leukocytes are also present. These work to phagocytize old or damaged tissue , and protect the healing tissue from pathogenic infection. This
