B
Myofibroblasts have hybrid features of fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells. Like fibroblasts they can synthesize collagen, and like smooth muscle cells they can contract. Contraction of myofibroblasts can reduce the surface area of an open wound to 10 of its original size and is most evident in wounds healing by secondary intention.
