    Glossary Wound Fibroblasts

    specialized cells that produce collagen to heal injured tissue

    Wound fibroblasts are specialized cells that play a crucial role in the healing process of injured tissue. When you get a cut or injury, these cells migrate to the wound site and produce collagen and other extracellular matrix components to help close the wound and form new tissue. They are essential for repairing and strengthening the damaged area.
