What medical advantages do fibroblasts have over stem cells in tranplantation?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
There is no need for Therapeutic or reporductive cloning.
There is no possibility of rejection (granted that the stem cells were donated)
Fibroblasts are prominent in the skins dermis, no problems isolating them. As where, stem cells are more difficult to isolate in an adult (which coincides with my first point)

Which cells make collagen?
fibroblasts
What cells are found in the connective tissue?
Fibroblasts
Why are fibroblasts of interest to transplantation biologists?
Because researchers have been able to transform fibroblasts into bone and cartilage cells.
Fibroblasts are the typical cells of?
simple squamous epithelium
Why are mouse ES cells Cultured on Irradiated Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts?
Mouse embryonic fibroblasts are inactivated by either chemical (Mitomycin-C) or radioactive (Cs-137) means before culturing with embyronic stem cells to prevent the fibroblasts from merging with the stem cells and creating a chimeric cell.

What tissue type cells contained in extracellular matrix composed of collagen and elastin?
fibroblasts are the most common resident cells in ordinary connective tissue. Fibroblasts are responsible for secreting collagen and other elements of the extracellular matrix of connective tissue.fibroblasts
Which cells would you be most likely to find in the dermis?
Fibroblasts
Is a fibroblast a plant or an animal cell?
Fibroblasts are animal cells.
What are the cells called that form skeletal connective tissues?
Fibroblasts.
Where are fibroblasts located?
Fibroblasts are cells within a body that make collagen, glycoproteins, reticular and elastic fibers. They are mainly found in connective tissues.
What are the 2 cells of blood vessels?
1) endothelial cells 2) smooth muscle cells 3) fibroblasts
