Mechanical strain promotes skin fibrosis through LRG-1 induction mediated by ELK1 and ERK signalling
4 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
Biomechanical force and pathological angiogenesis are dominant features in fibro-proliferative disorders. Understanding the role and regulation of the mechanical microenvironment in which pathological angiogenesis occurs is an important challenge when investigating numerous angiogenesis-related diseases. In skin fibrosis, dermal fibroblasts and vascular endothelial cells are integral to hypertrophic scar...
