Fibroblasts意思

Fibroblasts are cells that are found in connective tissue and play a key role in the synthesis and maintenance of the extracellular matrix, which is a network of proteins and carbohydrates that provide structure and support to tissues. They are important in wound healing, where they migrate to the site of injury and produce collagen and other components of the extracellular matrix to repair damaged tissue. Fibroblasts can also differentiate into myofibroblasts, which have the ability to contract and help close wounds.
