Abstract excerpt
This study aimed to understand the role of the matrix polysaccharide, hyaluronan (HA), in influencing the scarring process by assessing its impact on regulating fibroblast behavior. Donor-matched human oral and dermal fibroblasts were used as models of nonscarring and scarring fibroblast phenotypes, respectively. Phenotypic differences in these two fibroblast populations were assessed and related to differences...
