A fibroblast is a type of cell that is responsible for making the extracellular matrix and collagen. Together, this extracellular matrix and collagen form the structural framework of tissues in ...

Plasma fibroblast therapy is an aesthetic procedure that may help tighten and improve the appearance of the skin. A therapist uses a pen-like device to cause minor damage to the skin, which ...

Instead, embryonic MCs labeled by Sox9-CreER gave rise to the majority of EFE fibroblasts. Specifically, Epi-MCs but not Endo-MCs were the major sources of fibroblasts within the EFE-like tissues.

Helmholtz Munich researchers revealed a conserved differentiation process with clinical implications for injury repair, identifying a multipotent fibroblast progenitor in the fascia— the deepest ...

FAP is a transmembrane protein expressed on both cancer-associated fibroblasts and on normal activated fibroblasts involved in wound healing and tissue repair. FAP has long been a target for ...

Challenging the long-standing belief that fibroblasts produce skin collagen, researchers have investigated collagen formation in the 'glass-skinned' amphibian axolotl and other vertebrates.

MI/R injury induces cardiomyocyte damage or even death, which in turn stimulates fibroblast activation and fibrosis, but the intercellular communication mechanism remains unknown. Recent studies ...

Mutations in fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) cause autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets. Clinical and laboratory findings in this disorder are similar to those in oncogenic ...

Plasma fibroblast therapy, also called plasma skin resurfacing, is a skin treatment designed to improve the look of your skin by increasing the number of fibroblasts, the collagen- and protein ...
