    Glossary Myofibroblasts

    specialized cells aiding wound healing by contracting and producing collagen

    Myofibroblasts are specialized cells that play a crucial role in wound healing and tissue repair. They have properties of both muscle cells and fibroblasts, allowing them to contract and produce collagen, which helps close wounds and form scar tissue.
