Fibroblast cell, artwork
Fibroblast cell. Computer artwork of a fibroblast excreting collagen fibres (tropocollagen). Fibroblasts are cells that produce connective tissue such as collagen (tropocollagen), the main structural protein in the body. They are important in wound healing.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a fibroblast cell, brought to life through computer artwork. Against a striking black background, this illustration depicts the remarkable process of collagen fiber excretion by a fibroblast cell. Fibroblasts play a crucial role in our bodies as they are responsible for producing connective tissue, including tropocollagen - the primary structural protein. The image provides an annotated diagram that allows us to delve deeper into the inner workings of this biological marvel. The single-cut out fibroblast cell stands out prominently, with its nucleus and cytoplasm clearly visible. Various organelles such as endoplasmic reticulum, vesicles, and Golgi apparatus can be observed within the cell's interior. What makes this artwork truly fascinating is its ability to capture both scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal simultaneously. The meticulous attention to detail highlights every aspect involved in collagen production by these specialized cells. While appreciating this stunning piece of artistry, it is impossible not to acknowledge the significance of fibroblasts in wound healing processes. Their ability to produce collagen fibers ensures that our body's connective tissues remain strong and resilient. This print from Science Photo Library serves as a reminder of how science and art can intersect seamlessly, creating visually captivating representations that educate and inspire viewers about the wonders found within our own bodies.
