Fibroblasts dancing in formation (IMAGE) Virginia Tech Caption Fibroblasts treated with alphaCT1 respond by doing what Virginia Tech scientist Rob Gourdie of the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute describes as the "fibroblast dance." The cells undergo pivoting motions that result in frequent direction changes. Gourdie speculates this unusual pattern of cellular movement dictates how the cells knit the collagen bundles together that will form the scar.
