Description: A type of cell in loose connective tissue that secretes the protein ingredients of the extracellular matrix.

Many somatic cells have been successfully reprogrammed.  However, fibroblast cells are commonly utilized to create induced pluripotent stem cells because they can be easily extracted from a patient using a safe and non-invasive skin biopsy and are easy to culture in a lab.
