Challenging the long-standing belief that fibroblasts produce skin collagen, researchers at Okayama University have ...

New research reports that primary human dermal fibroblasts seeded into a three-dimensional biodegradable matrix can differentiate in vitro into osteoblasts and chondrocytes, and form three ...

“It doesn’t surprise me per se, because the theory was always there.” Experiments in the 1960s had revealed that the fibroblast-containing dermal compartment of the skin determines the identity of the ...

The skin consists of two primary layers. The epidermis, the outermost layer, is predominantly made up of keratinocytes, while ...

The study found that Zika infection leads to metabolic alterations in dermal fibroblasts, a type of skin cell responsible for structural integrity. These changes affect the production of volatile ...

My postdoctoral research focused on dissecting the plasticity and tissue scale behaviour of skin dermal fibroblast lineages during development, homoeostasis and wound healing. In 2018 I was awarded an ...

Synthetic polyamine BPA-C8 inhibits TGF-β1-mediated conversion of human dermal fibroblast to myofibroblasts and establishment of galectin-1-rich extracellular matrix in vitro.

Challenging the long-standing belief that fibroblasts produce skin collagen, researchers have investigated collagen formation in the 'glass-skinned' amphibian axolotl and other vertebrates. They ...
