Abstract excerpt
We have previously demonstrated that transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1)-mediated fibroblast-myofibroblast differentiation is associated with accumulation of a hyaluronan (HA) pericellular coat. The current study demonstrates failure of fibroblast-myofibroblast differentiation associated with in vitro aging. This is associated with attenuation of numerous TGF-beta1-dependent responses, including HA...
