Reticular cell

A cell of reticular connective tissue, such as in the stroma of the bone marrow, that retains both osteogenic and hematopoietic potencies; it is identified by its location, morphology, potency, and direct origin from mesenchymal cells. cell, stem, n.pl the cells in the bone marrow from which all blood cells originate.

Not to be confused with reticulocyte.

(Fibroblast) A reticular cell is a type of fibroblast that synthesises type III collagen and uses it to produce reticular fibers. The cell surrounds the fibers with its cytoplasm, isolating it from other tissue components and cells.

Reticular cells are found in many tissues including the spleen, lymph nodes and lymph nodules. They also direct B cells and T cells to specific regions within the lymphatic tissue.
