title: Fibroblasts: what's new in cellular biology?
abstract: This paper briefly examines the fibroblast network with particular emphasis on the exceptionally complex pattern of specific interactions and their effects on dermal integrity and homeostasis regulation systems. It will be some time before we have a full understanding of the cellular biology mechanisms involved in the operation of lasers, flashlamps, peels, mechanical dermabrasions, fillers or topicals on the skin.
