Explanation

Fibroblast response refers to how certain cells in the body, called fibroblasts, react to injury or disease. These cells play a crucial role in healing wounds as they produce collagen, a protein that helps to rebuild damaged tissue. When there is an injury, fibroblasts multiply and move to the site of damage to start the repair process. Therefore, the term "fibroblast response" is often used in the context of wound healing and tissue repair.
