Material-based regulation of the myofibroblast phenotype.

Biomaterials - 1 Aug 2007

Cushing Melinda C, Liao Jo-Tsu, Jaeggli Michael P, Anseth Kristi S

Abstract excerpt

Fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) activation by basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) serves to naturally repress the myofibroblast activation of valvular interstitial cells (VICs). Co-receptors for FGF-2, the heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs), are key participants in the formation of...
