Differential expression and regulation of extracellular matrix‐associated genes in fetal and neonatal fibroblasts
1 May 2001
Abstract excerpt
Adults and neonates heal wounds by a repair process associated with scarring in contrast to scar-free wound healing in the fetus. In the present study, human dermal fetal fibroblasts, representing the scarless phenotype, and neonatal human dermal fibroblasts, representing scar-forming phenotype, were examined for potential differences that might influence the wound healing process. Fetal fibroblasts secreted...
