A fibroblast is a type of cell that synthesizes the extracellular matrix and collagen, the structural framework (stroma) for animal tissues, and plays a critical role in wound healing. Fibroblasts are the most common cells of connective tissue in animals.

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 is PMEF?
Primary Mouse Embryo Fibroblasts
What cells are found in the connective tissue?
Fibroblasts
What do fibroblasts secrete?
proteins for connective fibers
WHAT Fibroblasts are specialized cells that?
Fibroblasts work as a geological glue that make sure structure is strong in tissue. They also majorly help in wound healing.
