WHS SESSION B: Fibroblast Heterogeneity and ECM

Fibroblasts are a critical cell type in healing wounds. They are responsible for restoring the extracellular matrix (ECM) after injury, but they usually do so in a manner that results in a fibrotic scar. Recently, significant advances have improved our understanding of fibroblast behavior and the heterogeneous nature of fibroblasts within healing wounds. This session will discuss the latest findings related to fibroblast heterogeneity and the regulation of ECM production by fibroblasts.
