This process may make your skin crawl — but it could also be regrown. Bioengineers from Columbia University have found a way of growing skin in the shape of hands — which could be a game ...

A new PET/CT imaging technique that visualizes activated fibroblasts in the heart muscle enables early detection of multiple ...

Fibroblasts come in 11 different shapes and sizes, three of which are distinct to senescent skin cells, the researchers found. Only one subtype of senescent fibroblast, ...

Harvard University researchers at the Broad Institute report that expansion in situ genome sequencing (ExIGS) linked nuclear abnormalities to hotspots of aberrant chromatin regulation, potentially ...

Fibroblasts play a central role in maintaining healthy tissue structures, ... 'Zombie' skin cells may be harmful or helpful, depending on their shapes. Apr 25, 2025.

The role of Fibroblast Growth Factor 8 (FGF8) in embryonic development and organ formation is gaining increased recognition ...

In a recent study, Wei et al. 6 describe a new therapeutic strategy of targeting those synovial fibroblasts by investigating how the fibroblasts in the sublining expand. They found, as observed in ...

Cancer-associated fibroblast subtypes modulate the tumor-immune microenvironment and are associated with skin cancer malignancy. Nature Communications , 2024; 15 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-53908 ...

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) get a bad rap. The protective, gel-like complex surrounding tumors have been thought to be a no-go for drugs and are known to enforce treatment resistance.
