    Glossary Fibroblasts

    specialized cells that produce and maintain connective tissue

    Fibroblasts are specialized cells found in connective tissue that play a crucial role in wound healing and tissue repair. They produce and maintain the extracellular matrix, which provides structural support to tissues, and are essential for the synthesis of collagen, a key protein that helps maintain skin elasticity and strength.
