A fasciacyte is a type of biological cell that produces hyaluronan-rich extracellular matrix and modulates gliding of muscular fascia. [1]
Structure
Fasciacytes are fibroblast-like cells found in fasciae. They are morphologically round-shaped with rounder nuclei and have less elongated cellular processes when compared with fibroblasts. Fasciacytes are clustered along the upper and lower surfaces of a fascial layer.
Function
Fasciacytes produce hyaluronan which allows for fascial gliding.[1]
