Opis

Since the discovery of the circulating 'fibrocyte' in 1994 as a collagen-producing cell of the peripheral blood, the physiologic and pathologic role of this unique cell population has grown steadily. This text provides a review of the role of fibrocytes in wound repair, granuloma formation, and antigen presentation.
