FIBROBLAST

In addition, fibroblasts have a tissue repair function and wounds stimulate fibroblast production. Collagen's ubiquity makes fibroblasts the most common cells of connective tissue in mammals. The extracellular matrix plays a crucial role in tissue activity and wound healing, capable of influencing the migration and gene expression of a fibroblast. The ECM is also able to differentiate a fibroblast into other functional cell types. In a healing wound, a fibroblast produces the components of the extracellular matrix. The same molecules from the ECM then simultaneously work to modify the function of the fibroblast, depending on its location in the body... Fibroblast Cells. Fibroblasts are the cells that make up the structural framework or stroma composed of the extracellular matrix and collagen
