Annotation rationales
Interstitial fibroblasts are matrix-producing stromal cells distributed within organ connective tissue between parenchymal and vascular structures.
Functional implications
They maintain tissue mechanics and trophic niches and coordinate inflammation, wound repair and fibrotic remodeling.
