The Role of Fibroblasts in Chronic Inflammatory and Proliferative Skin Diseases.

Fibroblasts (FBs) are crucial mesenchymal cells that preserve the skin's natural structure and physiological processes. They can build dense connective tissue by remodelling the extracellular matrix (ECM) and control immunological activity by secreting cytokines. This indicates that the development of chronic inflammatory and proliferative skin disorders is significantly influenced by fibroblasts. In order to provide new ideas for clinical research and treatment with a clearer perspective, this study thoroughly compiles the involvement of fibroblasts in various chronic inflammatory and proliferative skin diseases such as psoriasis, hypertrophic scar (HS), keloid, atopic dermatitis (AD), oral lichen planus (OLP), chronic eczema, and rosacea.
