[[ https://www.creative-bioarray.com/Human-Intestinal-Fibroblasts-HIF-CSC-7769W-item-1824.htm | Human Intestinal Fibroblasts (HIF) ]] are mesenchymal cells derived from the embryonic mesoderm. They have been extensively used for a wide range of cellular and molecular studies. This is mainly because they are one of easiest types of cells to grow in culture, and their durability makes them amenable to a wide variety of manipulations ranging from studies employing gene transfection to microinjection. There is good evidence that fibroblasts in different parts of the body are intrinsically different.
