| | Fibroblasts - definition of Fibroblasts in Encyclopedia |
| | Active fibroblasts can be recognized by their abundant rough endoplasmic reticulum. | | | Tissue damage stimulates fibrocytes and induces the mitosis of fibroblasts. | | | Fibroblasts make collagens, glycosaminoglycans, reticular and elastic fibers, and glycoproteins found in the extracellular matrix. |

| | Box 1 Stromal fibroblasts in cancer initiation and progression : Nature |
| | The origin of the mesenchymal fibroblasts apparently determines their sensitivity to sonic hedgehog (Shh) derived from the developing lung epithelia. | | | Other epithelia may show no such response, for example, oesophagus epithelia showed no hyperplastic or neoplastic response in the Tgfbr2 | | | In a reductionist approach to understanding epithelial−stromal interactions, both in normal tissues and in cancer, the fibroblast component is often generalized and differences in fibroblasts from different tissues or differences within the same tissue are obscured. |

| | "But what if we could trick the body into a wound-healing response that's in a very confined environment, where cells like fibroblasts couldn't come in?" Shastri wondered. | | | Even better, fibroblasts are relegated to the outer side of the periosteum -- effectively barring them from participating in the process. | | | But there's one roadblock: natural wound healing usually involves fast-growing cells called fibroblasts that give rise to scar tissue. |

| | NDI Terminology - fibroblasts |
| | Fibroblasts, which differentiate into chondroblasts, collagenoblasts, and osteoblasts, form the fibrous tissues in the body including tendons, aponeuroses, supporting and binding tissues of all sorts. | | | Connective tissue cells: flat elongated cells with cytoplasmic processes at each end, having flat, oval, vesicular nuclei. |

| | MMP-2 release and activation in ovarian carcinoma: the role of fibroblasts |
| | The matrix metalloproteinase MMP-2 is up-regulated in epithelial cancers and its mRNA localizes to stromal fibroblasts. | | | This active MMP-2 can associate with the cell surface of tumour cells and fibroblasts and is used in the processes of tissue remodelling and invasion. | | | We propose that, in the ovarian tumour microenvironment, interaction between tumour cells and fibroblasts may enhance fibroblast production of the proMMP-2 and TIMP-2. |

| | Induction of apoptosis in human replicative senescent fibroblasts. |
| | Induction of apoptosis in human replicative senescent fibroblasts. | | | Our studies show that senescent fibroblasts can be induced to undergo apoptosis in a signal-dependent manner. | | | Using an in situ assay, we have found that the activity of beta-galactosidase, which is also a biochemical marker of senescence, is induced in young proliferating fibroblasts following exposure to all three apoptotic inducing agents. |

| | The dermis contains mostly fibroblasts which are responsible for secreting collagen, elastin and ground substance that give the support and elasticity of the skin. | | | The dermis is typically subdivided into two zones, a papillary dermis and a reticular layer. |
