Annotation rationales
Adventitial fibroblasts are connective-tissue stromal cells positioned around larger vessels and within outer tissue sheaths.
Functional implications
They maintain collagenous support, provide progenitor-like stromal capacity and coordinate vascular, immune and fibrotic remodeling.
