Identification of differentially expressed genes in fibroblasts derived from patients with Dupuytren's Contracture
23 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
Dupuytren's contracture (DC) is the most common inherited connective tissue disease of humans and is hypothesized to be associated with aberrant wound healing of the palmar fascia. Fibroblasts and myofibroblasts are believed to play an important role in the genesis of DC and the fibroproliferation and contraction that are hallmarks of this disease. This study compares the gene expression profiles of fibroblasts...
