An experimental study on the function of fibrocytes

By means of different types of fibrocytes (amnion connecting cells, fibrocytes of the substantia propria of the cornea, fibrocytes of the tendon, fibrocytes of the loose connecting tissues and fibrocytes of the ovary a varying disposition could be demonstrated for the accumulation of vital dies. The tests indicate that the transformation of fibrocytes into histiocytes (macrophagia) can be shown with certainty only in the less differentiated connected tissue cells of the amnion.
