摘要

Fibroblasts, once perceived as a uniform cell type, are now recognized as a mosaic of distinct populations with specialized roles in tissue homeostasis and pathology. Here we provide a global overview of the expanding compendium of fibroblast cell types and states, their diverse lineage origins and multifaceted functions across various human organs. By integrating insights from developmental biology, lineage tracing and single-cell technologies, we highlight the complex nature of fibroblasts. We delve into their origination from embryonic mesenchyme and tissue-resident populations, elucidating lineage-specific behaviours in response to physiological cues. Furthermore, we highlight the pivotal role of fibroblasts in orchestrating tissue repair, connective tissue remodelling and immune modulation across diverse pathologies. This knowledge is essential to develop novel fibroblast-targeted therapies to restore steady-state fibroblast function and advance regenerative medicine strategies across multiple diseases.
