Dermal Fibroblasts

Meaning

Dermal Fibroblasts are the principal cellular components residing within the dermis layer of the skin, whose fundamental role is the synthesis and maintenance of the extracellular matrix. They are directly responsible for producing essential structural proteins, notably collagen, elastin, and various glycosaminoglycans like hyaluronic acid. These cells are paramount for maintaining the skin’s tensile strength, elasticity, and hydration levels.
