Endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition induced by W nt 3a in keloid pathogenesis
4 Apr 2015
Abstract excerpt
Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition is a phenotypic conversion characterized by down-regulation of vascular endothelial markers and the acquisition of a mesenchymal phenotype. We hypothesized that keloid fibroblasts are of endothelial origin and that endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition substantially contributes to collagen accumulation during the development and progression of keloids. Wingless protein...
