The 12 pages that link to Fibroblast, each with the reason it gives.

• Wound healingRelated: Fibroblasts build the matrix that fills wounds and develops into scar tissue.

• CollagenRelated: Fibroblasts are major collagen-producing cells in many tissues.

• Connective tissueBroader topic: Fibroblasts build much of the matrix that gives connective tissue its structure.

• DermisRelated: Fibroblasts maintain the matrix that makes up much of the dermis.

• FibrosisRelated: Activated fibroblasts are major producers of the matrix that accumulates in fibrosis.

• Epithelial cellsCompared with: Fibroblasts build the matrix beneath epithelia rather than forming the epithelial barrier itself.

• Pulmonary fibrosisRelated: Activated fibroblasts deposit the excess matrix that thickens fibrotic lung tissue.

• Ligament (anatomy)Related: Fibroblasts maintain and repair the collagen-rich tissue of ligaments.

• KeloidRelated: Keloid fibroblasts produce excessive matrix and respond abnormally to growth signals.

• ElastinRelated: Fibroblasts secrete tropoelastin in many elastin-rich tissues.

• Connective tissue cellsBroader topic: Fibroblasts are the principal matrix-producing cells in many connective tissues.

• Pancreatic stellate cellsCompared with: Comparing stellate cells with fibroblasts highlights their specialized vitamin A-storing state.
