Pancreatic stellate cell activation and expression of matrix molecules constitute the complex process that induces pancreatic fibrosis. [3] Synthesis, deposition, maturation and remodelling of the fibrous connective tissue can be protective, however when persistent it impedes regular pancreatic function.

Hepatic stellate cell (Ito cell) liver Pericyte: Nucleus pulposus cell: intervertebral disc: Hyaline cartilage chondrocyte: Fibrocartilage chondrocyte: Elastic cartilage chondrocyte: Osteoblast/osteocyte: Osteoprogenitor cell: Hyalocyte: vitreous body of eye Stellate cell: Pancreatic stellate cell: Red skeletal muscle cell (slow twitch ...
Each cell has several long cytoplasmic protrusions that extend from the cell body and wrap around the sinusoids. [5] The lipid droplets in the cell body store vitamin A as retinyl palmitate. [6] Hepatic stellate cells store 50–80% of the body's vitamin A. [6] The function and role of quiescent hepatic stellate cells is unclear.
Partial smooth muscle differentiation of a fibroblastic cell; Activation of a stellate cell (e.g. hepatic Ito cells or pancreatic stellate cells). Loss of contractile phenotype (or acquisition of "synthetic phenotype") of a smooth muscle cell. Direct myofibroblastic differentiation of a progenitor cell resident in a stromal tissue.
Foot-like processes are also present in Müller glia (modified astrocytes of the retina), [3] pancreatic stellate cells, [4] dendritic cells, [5] oligodendrocytes, [6] and others. Microglia , which are notably smaller than macroglia , can also extend their end-processes to contact areas of capillaries that are devoid of astrocyte endfeet , and ...

Stellate cells or star shaped cells forms several places in the body. Stellate cells, found in layer I, II, and IV in cortical tissue; Hepatic stellate cell, pericytes found in the perisinusoidal space of the liver. Pancreatic stellate cell, reside in exocrine areas of the pancreas; Podocyte, found in the Bowman's capsule in the kidneys
