Abstract excerpt
Fibroblasts represent a dynamic population of cells, exhibiting functional heterogeneity within and among tissues. Fibroblast heterogeneity also results from phenotypic differences and may arise from activation or differentiation processes taking place in the cells. We previously reported that human fibroblasts were heterogeneous with respect to surface Thy-1 expression and that separation into Thy-1(+) and...
