Generation and analysis of spheroids from human primary skin myofibroblasts: an experimental system to study myofibroblasts deactivation
17 Jul 2017
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Myofibroblasts are activated fibroblasts involved in tissue repair and cancer. They are characterized byde novoexpression ofα-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), immunoregulatory phenotype and paracrine interaction with normal and tumorigenic cells leading to cell proliferation. At the end of wound-healing myofibroblasts undergo apoptotic cell death, whereasin vitro-activated fibroblasts are also subjected to a...
