Abstract: Dysregulated wound healing after burn injury frequently results in debilitating hypertrophic scarring and contractures. Myofibroblasts, the main effector cells for dermal fibrosis, develop from normal fibroblasts via transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1). During wound… read more here.

Abstract: In blood vessels, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) generally exist in two major phenotypes: contractile and non-contractile (synthetic). The contractile phenotype is predominant and includes quiescent or differentiated VSMCs, which function as the regulators of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1165/rcmb.2016-0427oc
Abstract: &NA; Airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) are phenotypically regulated to exist in either a proliferative or a contractile state. However, the influence of other airway structural cell types on ASMC phenotype is largely unknown. Although… read more here.
