Dermal Fibroblasts

Dermal fibroblasts are specialized cells located in the deep layer of the skin called the dermis. They play a key role in wound healing and maintaining skin structure by producing and organizing collagen, elastin, and other extracellular matrix components. These proteins give skin its strength, flexibility, and elasticity. When skin is injured, fibroblasts become active, helping to rebuild tissue and promote healing. They are essential for maintaining healthy, resilient skin and are involved in processes like aging and scar formation. Overall, dermal fibroblasts are vital for skin integrity and repair.
