Fibrocytes are mesenchymal cells that arise from monocyte precursors. They are present in
injured organs and have both the inflammatory features of macrophages and the tissue …

Fibrocytes are unique cells possessing the proinflammatory properties of macrophages and
the tissue remodeling properties of fibroblasts. Because these cells display a strong …

Fibrocytes are circulating mesenchymal progenitor cells that participate in tissue responses
to injury and invasion. Accumulating knowledge from animal models regarding the …

Peripheral blood fibrocytes are a novel population of cells that rapidly enter sites of tissue
injury and contribute to connective scar formation. Fibrocytes display a distinct cell surface …

Fibrocytes are cells that circulate in the peripheral blood and produce connective tissue
proteins such as vimentin and collagens I and III. Fibrocytes are associated with skin lesions …

Following tissue damage, host wound healing ensues. This process requires an elaborate
interplay between numerous cell types which orchestrate a series of regulated and …

Regeneration and fibrosis are integral parts of the recovery process following tissue injury,
and impaired regulation of these mechanisms is a hallmark of many chronic diseases. A …

Fibrocytes were first described over a decade ago as a population of cells in circulation with
fibroblast-like properties, which were involved in tissue repair. Since that time, we have …

Since the original description of circulating fibrocytes in 1994, our knowledge of this unique
cell population has grown steadily. While initially described in the context of wound repair …

Fibrosis is the end result of a complex series of events that follow tissue injury and
inflammation. Pathophysiologic fibrosis results in permanent scar formation, and can impair …
