Fibroblasts

Fibroblasts are specialized cells found in connective tissue that play a key role in healing and maintaining tissue structure. They produce and organize collagen and other extracellular matrix components, which provide support and strength to tissues such as skin, tendons, and organs. When tissue is damaged, fibroblasts activate, proliferate, and generate new matrix materials to repair the injury. They also help regulate inflammation and tissue remodeling during recovery. Overall, fibroblasts are essential for tissue repair and structural integrity in the body.
