Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition is a key event during wound healing and hypertrophic scar formation. Previous studies suggested Wnt/β-catenin signaling might be involved in the wound healing. However, its specific role in skin fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the specific role of β-catenin during the transforming growth factor-β1 induced normal...
