Architects of the living world

Under the lens of Dylan Burnette, fibroblasts reveal their fundamental role in the architecture of life.
These cells shape the extracellular matrix, a scaffolding of collagen and elastin that supports organs, repairs wounds and guides healing.

But their function goes beyond mere support: fibroblasts are involved in inflammatory processes, fibrosis, when scar tissue becomes invasive, and tumor remodeling, by interacting with cancer cells and their environment.

Thanks to this high-resolution microscopy, we can observe their organization, migration, metabolism and transformative power.

Underneath this dazzling image, each form bears witness to an invisible activity: building, repairing... or sometimes, disrupting the biological landscape they have built.
