Fibroblasts as key regulators of neuro-mesenchymal niches in homeostasis, inflammation and disease
Fibroblasts, once viewed as inert producers of extracellular matrix (ECM), are now recognized as dynamic and heterogeneous regulators of tissue identity, homeostasis, and repair. Single-cell and spatial transcriptomic studies have revealed extensive transcriptional and positional diversity among fibroblast population...
