Meaning:
A cell from which connective tissue develops
Classified under:
Hypernyms ("fibroblast" is a kind of...):
embryonic cell; formative cell (a cell of an embryo)
Context examples:
An intraneural or extraneural neoplasm arising from nerve tissues and neural sheaths, composed of perineurial-like fibroblasts and Schwann cells.
(Neurofibroma, NCI Thesaurus/CDISC)
A cell line derived from fibroblasts of disaggregated Swiss mouse embryos.
(NIH/3T3, NLM, Medical Subject Headings)
It is characterized by the presence of spindle-shaped fibroblasts, and an infiltrative growth pattern.
(Palmar Fibromatosis, NCI Thesaurus)
A pan inhibitor of human fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) with potential antiangiogenic and antineoplastic activities.
(Pan-FGFR Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor BAY1163877, NCI Thesaurus)
An orally bioavailable, pan fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitor with potential antineoplastic activity.
(pan-FGFR Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor JNJ-42756493, NCI Thesaurus)
A benign neoplasm characterized by the presence of spindle-shaped fibroblasts surrounding the hair follicle.
(Perifollicular Fibroma, NCI Thesaurus)
A group of neoplasms that arise from the ovary and represent a spectrum of tumors ranging from neoplasms that are composed entirely of fibroblasts to those that are composed predominantly of theca cells.
(Ovarian Tumor of the Thecoma/Fibroma Group, NCI Thesaurus)
A benign ovarian stromal tumor characterized by the presence of cellular areas which contain fibroblasts and round cells.
(Ovarian Sclerosing Stromal Tumor, NCI Thesaurus)
A ubiquitous tissue culture model for nontransformed animal cells; derived from nonneoplastic immortalized fibroblasts.
(NIH/3T3, NIH CRISP Thesaurus)
These neoplasms secrete fibroblast growth factor 23, which in addition to causing decreased renal phosphate reabsorption also affects the expression of 25-hydroxy-1-alpha-hydroxylase resulting in poor bone mineralization.
(Oncogenic Osteomalacia, NCI Thesaurus)
