Keratinocyte regulation of TGF‐β and connective tissue growth factor expression: A role in suppression of scar tissue formation
1 Sept 2007
Abstract excerpt
Allogeneic keratinocytes applied to large full-thickness wounds promote healing while suppressing scar tissue formation. This effect may be mediated in part by their effect on the levels of transforming growth factor-betas (TGF-betas) and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in the wound and subsequent modulation of fibroblast activity. We have examined the levels of TGF-beta and CTGF produced by keratinocytes...
