Abstract excerpt
Cleft palate patients often show mid-facial growth impairment after surgical closure of the defect. This is a consequence of palatal wound healing, and more specifically of wound contraction and scar tissue formation. Cells of the fibroblast lineage are responsible for these processes and they display different phenotypes in the course of the wound healing process. The aim of this study was to analyze the in...
