Fibroblast mechanics in three-dimensional collagen matrices
- 01Fascia provides mechanical support for the body's tissues
- 02Fibroblasts build and remodel the collagen in fascia
- 03Tension between the cell and matrix affects cell migration
- 04Growth factors also play a role in tissue remodeling
Tension between fibroblasts and their collagen matrix, along with growth factors, helps regulate how tissue is remodeled and repaired.
Fascia provides mechanical support and frameworks for the other tissues of the body. Type 1 collagen is the major protein component of fascia, and fibroblasts are the cell type primarily responsible for its biosynthesis and remodeling. Research on fibroblasts interacting with collagen matrices provides new insights regarding how cell–matrix tension state and growth factor specificity regulate cell migration and matrix remodeling.
