Human Uterine Fibroblasts (HUF) are primary cells isolated from human uterine wall tissue. These cells exhibit a typical spindle-shaped or star-like morphology with large, pale nuclei and transparent cytoplasm. They show high levels of vimentin, CD90 and fibroblast activation protein (FAP) expression. Functionally, HUF play important roles in extracellular matrix remodeling, particularly during uterine repair and inflammatory responses, and are implicated in pathological processes such as uterine fibroids due to their dysregulated collagen secretion and fibrotic activity.

Human Uterine Fibroblasts (HUF) serve as a powerful tool for investigating uterine physiology and pathology. These cells are widely utilized to study extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling mechanisms in conditions like uterine fibroids and endometriosis, where dysregulated collagen deposition drives fibrotic progression. Researchers use HUF to model hormonal interactions, particularly responses to estrogen and progesterone, which influence uterine tissue repair and inflammatory signaling. Their role in cell-cell communication also makes them valuable for co-culture systems with uterine smooth muscle or immune cells to mimic disease microenvironments.
