Fibrosis is repair. When a tissue is damaged fibroblasts repair the damage and this process is called Fibrosis.

Fibrosis tissue repair involves the formation of excessive extracellular matrix components, particularly collagen, leading to the development of scar tissue. This process occurs as a response to injury or chronic inflammation, where fibroblasts are activated and proliferate to produce and deposit collagen and other matrix proteins. While fibrosis is essential for healing, excessive or uncontrolled fibrosis can impair tissue function and lead to organ dysfunction.
Fibrosis is a pathological process characterized by the excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix components, primarily collagen, leading to scarring and tissue stiffening. While adipocytes (fat cells) can proliferate and play a role in tissue repair, fibrosis specifically refers to the formation of fibrous connective tissue, not the normal division of adipocytes. In some cases, when tissue is damaged, an imbalance between repair and degradation can lead to fibrosis, but this is distinct from the normal regenerative processes involving adipocytes.
The two types of tissue repair are regeneration, where damaged tissue is replaced with new functional tissue, and fibrosis, where damaged tissue is replaced with scar tissue made of collagen fibers. Regeneration is ideal as it restores normal tissue function, while fibrosis can lead to loss of function depending on the extent of scarring.

Tissue repair occurs primarily through regeneration and fibrosis. Regeneration involves the replacement of damaged cells with new cells of the same type, restoring normal function, while fibrosis involves the formation of scar tissue when regeneration is insufficient, often leading to a loss of function in the affected area. Both processes are essential for healing, depending on the type and extent of the injury.
No, fibroblasts lay down collagen fibers during fibrosis, not keratin fibers. Keratin is a protein that is typically found in skin, hair, and nails, while collagen is a major component of the extracellular matrix. Fibroblasts produce collagen to help repair and replace damaged tissue during the process of fibrosis.
