Master regulators in primary skin fibroblast fate reprogramming in a human ex vivo model of chronic wounds
10 Dec 2015
Abstract excerpt
Fibroblasts are important players in regulating tissue homeostasis. In the dermis, they are involved in wound healing where they differentiate into contractile myofibroblasts leading to wound closure. In nonhealing chronic wounds, fibroblasts fail to undertake differentiation. We established and used a human ex vivo model of chronic wounds where fibroblasts can undergo normal myofibroblast differentiation, or...
