Macrophages and fibroblasts are both involved in the inflammatory response and wound healing process, where macrophages release growth factors to stimulate fibroblasts [1] and both cell types contribute to the production of cytokines like IL-6 {fact:2, fact:5} and GM-CSF [2]. Additionally, both cell types are key components of the granulation tissue found in chronic inflammation [3].

claimIL-6 is produced by monocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells, and upon stimulation, it is secreted by macrophages, T cells, B cells, mast cells, glial cells, eosinophils, keratinocytes, and granulocytes.
referenceIL-6 is classified as a pro-inflammatory cytokine, is produced by Th cells, macrophages, and fibroblasts, binds to CD126 and CD130 receptors, targets B cells and plasma cells, and functions in B-cell differentiation.
referenceGM-CSF is classified as an adaptive immunity cytokine, is produced by T cells, macrophages, and fibroblasts, binds to CD116 and CDw131 receptors, targets stem cells, and functions in the growth and differentiation of monocytes and the production of eosinophils and granulocytes.

claimThe inflammation phase of wound healing occurs between 1 and 6 days post-injury and is characterized by the influx of immune cells, starting with neutrophils clearing debris and bacteria, followed by macrophages that remove debris and release growth factors to stimulate fibroblast and endothelial cell activity.
Chronic Inflammation - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf ncbi.nlm.nih.gov 1 fact
claimNonspecific proliferative chronic inflammation is characterized by the presence of non-specific granulation tissue formed by the infiltration of mononuclear cells, such as lymphocytes, macrophages, and plasma cells, alongside the proliferation of fibroblasts, connective tissue, vessels, and epithelial cells, as seen in nasal or cervical polyps and lung abscesses.
