A fibroblast is a type of biological cell typically with a spindle shape[1] that synthesizes the extracellular matrix and collagen,[2] produces the structural framework (stroma) for animal tissues, and plays a critical role in wound healing.[3] Fibroblasts are the most common cells of connective tissue in animals.
