Fibroblast Recruitment

Meaning

Fibroblast Recruitment is the critical biological process involving the directed migration and proliferation of fibroblasts, the principal cells responsible for synthesizing the extracellular matrix (ECM), to a site of tissue injury, inflammation, or structural remodeling. This cellular mobilization is a cornerstone of wound healing and tissue repair, essential for restoring structural integrity and tensile strength. In the context of hormonal health, the efficiency of fibroblast recruitment is heavily modulated by growth factors and peptide hormones, directly impacting skin quality, connective tissue repair, and overall longevity markers.
