Fibroblast the Non-Professional Immune Cell |Biomedgrid

Traditionally, fibroblasts can be defined as mesenchymal cells and are known for producing upwards of 300 unique extracellular matrix (ECM) components and proteins. This includes collagens, proteoglycans, elastin, and cell-binding glycoproteins, each with distinct physical and biochemical properties that must interact to form functional connective tissue [1]. Connective tissue maintains form to the body and organs that provide cohesion and internal support [2,3].
