    Glossary Myofibroblast Differentiation

    process where fibroblasts transform into wound-healing myofibroblasts

    Myofibroblast differentiation is the process by which fibroblasts, a type of cell found in connective tissue, transform into myofibroblasts. These myofibroblasts play a crucial role in wound healing and tissue repair by contracting and producing extracellular matrix components, which help close wounds and restore tissue integrity. However, excessive myofibroblast activity can lead to fibrosis, a condition characterized by excessive tissue scarring.
