A fibroblast synthesises matrix components and secretes them, and it also produces the metalloproteinases that cut them and the inhibitors that restrain those. It runs both arms of remodelling from the same cell.
That is why it is the natural model for matrix work, and why a result in fibroblasts is a result about the machinery of remodelling rather than about skin as an organ.
Primary fibroblasts are taken from tissue and behave more like the tissue they came from — but they vary with donor age and site, and they senesce after a limited number of divisions.
Immortalised lines divide indefinitely and are reproducible, at the cost of carrying the alterations that made them immortal. A result in one is not automatically a result in the other, and the paper should say which was used.
Primary cells from different donors differ in proliferation rate, matrix output and responsiveness. Work using them should state donor characteristics, and work comparing conditions should keep the donor constant.
This is the cell-culture equivalent of the lot problem in materials: if the cells change between conditions, the experiment has two variables and one of them was not planned.
