Description
Fibroblast cells, 3D-structured illumination micrograph. The cell nuclei, which contain the cells' genetic information, are blue. Actin protein filaments, which make up part of the cytoskeleton, are yellow. The cytoskeleton maintains the cells' shape, allows some cellular mobility and is involved in intracellular transport. Fibroblasts are cells that give rise to connective tissue such as collagen, the main structural protein in the body. They are important in wound healing.
