Differences in alpha smooth muscle actin expression between fibroblasts derived from Dupuytren's nodules or cords.

Experimental and molecular pathology - 1 Oct 2001

Abstract excerpt

Dupuytren's contracture is a fibrotic lesion of the palmar fascia that includes two distinct structures, the nodule and the cord. Histologically the Dupuytren's nodule has a high cell density with numerous myofibroblasts (alpha smooth muscle actin-expressing fibroblasts). The Dupuytren's cord has a rich connective tissue matrix containing a low density of elongated spindle-shaped fibroblasts. The cytoskeletal...
