Over-organizing repair cells set the stage for fibrosis

The excessive activity of repair cells in the early stages of tissue recovery sets the stage for fibrosis by priming the activation of an important growth factor, according to a study in The Journal of Cell Biology.

Myofibroblast

A Myofibroblast is a cell that is in between a fibroblast and a smooth muscle cell in differentiation.
