Annotation rationales
Transitioning fibroblasts are stromal cells moving between a matrix-maintaining identity and a more activated, migratory or myofibroblast-like state.
Functional implications
They provide adaptable repair capacity, but prolonged transition toward contractile matrix production can contribute to fibrosis.
