Stromal Cells. The cellular composition of the microenvironment includes cells of mesenchymal origin (fibroblasts), inflammatory/immune cells, adipocytes and endothelial cells (vascular).

The study was published Jan. 28 in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology. Previous research has shown that during fibrosis, fat cells in the skin called adipocytes are depleted. Why that happens ...

The Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) and the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) have ...

Researchers have discovered a new type of tissue, a soft and flexible ‘fatty cartilage’ that could revolutionize the ...

When you need a break from the hustle and bustle of Canada's biggest city, you can hop on a quick, 15-minute ferry ride to the Toronto Islands. Amidst the towering skyscrapers of the city's ...

Fibroblasts are the most common cell type in connective tissue. They can be compared to 'nature's stitches', holding together damaged tissue until it is healed. Fibroblasts remain sleeping until they ...

The resulting PCL–Zn (PZ) nanofibers effectively guided the growth of NIH3T3 fibroblasts for 7 days, forming a fibroblast cell sheet. The PZ fibers were decellularized to remove autologous and ...
