They said multiple potential sources of CAFs have been described, including fibroblasts, mesenchymal stem cells, and epithelial and endothelial cells. “Thus, CAFs have been considered to rather ...

Challenging the long-standing belief that fibroblasts produce skin collagen, researchers at Okayama University have investigated collagen formation in the ‘glass-skinned’ amphibian axolotl and other ...

As the axolotl grew, the collagen layer thickened, and only later did fibroblasts begin migrating into it, eventually forming ...

While it has been believed that RA-FLS are generated in the inflamed synovium through transformation or differentiation of existing synovial fibroblasts, recent interest has expanded towards the role ...

This fundamental research conducted a molecular comparison between smooth muscle cells and adjacent fibroblast cells within lung blood vessels affected by pulmonary arterial hypertension. The study ...

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.

An autologous dermal fibroblast injection into the bone-tendon interface after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair may promote tissue healing and reduce the rate of retears, according to published ...

Exosome mimetics can promote the proliferation and migration of dermal fibroblasts (hDF-a) cells in vitro. To investigate how exosome mimetics play a role, proteomics analysis was applied, and the ...
