Quiescent Fibroblasts Are More Active in Mounting Robust Inflammatory Responses Than Proliferative Fibroblasts

Quiescent cells are considered to be dormant. However, recent studies suggest that quiescent fibroblasts possess active metabolic profile and certain functional characteristics. We previously observed that serum-starved quiescent fibroblasts respond to proinflammatory stimuli by robust expression of...
