Abstract excerpt
Hypertrophic scar (HS) is characterized by fibroblast hyperproliferation and excessive matrix deposition. Aberrant keratinocyte differentiation and their abnormal cytokine secretion are said to contribute to HS by activating fibroblasts. However, the signalling pathway causing the aberrant keratinocytes in HS has remained unidentified thus far. Given that Notch signalling is crucial in initiating keratinocyte...
