Gene expression patterns in isolated keloid fibroblasts

Abstract excerpt

Keloid scars after skin trauma are a significant clinical problem, especially in black populations, in which the incidence of keloids has been estimated at 4-16%. Keloids are abnormal dermal proliferative scars secondary to dysregulated wound healing. Despite several biochemical studies on the role of extracellular matrix proteins and growth factors during keloid formation, we still do not know what molecules and...
