Fig. 1: Fibroblast subpopulations across organs.
From: Emerging concepts and novel mechanisms in organ fibrosis
A Quiescent fibroblasts in the lung, heart, skin and kidney under homeostatic conditions, characterized by specific transcriptomic signatures/profiles. B Activated fibroblasts, including the different states that emerge during activation following injury, all share the expression of Periostin (Postn). These states are observed across most organs; however, in some cases, they have not yet been fully characterized or identified. Created in BioRender.
