Fibroblast
Fibroblast — A cell type responsible for producing extracellular matrix and collagen, commonly used in in vitro peptide wound healing and tissue repair studies.
What Is a Fibroblast?
A fibroblast is the primary cell type of connective tissue, responsible for synthesizing collagen, elastin, and other ECM components. Fibroblasts are the most common cell type used to study peptide effects on wound healing, proliferation, and ECM production. Dermal fibroblasts are the primary targets of skin-active peptides.
