Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: TGF-β plays a central role in hypertrophic scar (HS) formation and development. OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the role of a TGF-β antagonist peptide in inhibiting fibrotic behavior of human HS-derived fibroblasts (HSFs). MATERIALS AND METHODS: HSFs were seeded at a density of 3.1 × 10(4)/cm(2) and were subjected to treatment of peptide antagonist (30 μM) or TGF-β receptor inhibitor LY2109761 (10 μM)...
