In vitro study of the impact of mechanical tension on the dermal fibroblast phenotype in the context of skin wound healing.

Abstract excerpt

Skin wound healing is finely regulated by both matrix synthesis and degradation which are governed by dermal fibroblast activity. Actually, fibroblasts synthesize numerous extracellular matrix proteins (i.e., collagens), remodeling enzymes and their inhibitors. Moreover, they differentiate into myofibroblasts and are able to develop endogenous forces at the wound site. Such forces are crucial during skin wound...
