Since the discovery of the circulating "fibrocyte" in 1994 as a collagen-producing cell of the peripheral blood, the physiologic and pathologic role of this cell has grown steadily. This book gives a review of the role of fibrocytes in wound repair and various fibrosing disorders such as interstitial lung disease and nephrogenic systemic fibrosis.
