A type of cell that produces collagen and other fibers in connective tissue.
From 'fibro-' (fiber) + '-cyte' (from Greek 'kytos', cell). Biological term precisely identifying a specific cell type in tissue.
Fibrocytes are your body's construction workers—they build the scaffolding that holds everything together, and when injury happens, they rush to the scene to lay down new structural material as part of healing.
