Adrenal Fibroblasts (ADF)

The adrenal gland is regulated by hormone secretion in the body. Fibroblasts are the most common cells in the connective tissue, which are derived from the differentiation of mesenchymal cells in the embryonic stage. They have been extensively used for a wide range of cellular and molecular studies as they are one of the easiest types of cells to grow in culture. Their durability also makes them amenable to a wide variety of manipulations ranging from studies employing gene transfection to microinjection.Fibroblasts are the most common cells of connective tissue in animals. Fibroblasts in various parts of the body are intrinsically different. Many diseases are associated with fibroblasts, either because fibroblasts are implicated in their etiology or because of the fibrosis that accompanies damage to other cell. Adrenal Fibroblasts (ADF) are isolated from adrenal tissue.
