The myofibroblast at a glance

1 Jul 2020

Abstract excerpt

" (contraction) in rat wound granulation tissue and, accordingly, named these cells 'myofibroblasts'. Now, myofibroblasts are not only recognized for their physiological role in tissue repair but also as cells that are key in promoting the development of fibrosis in all organs. In this Cell Science at a Glance and the accompanying poster, we provide an overview of the current understanding of central aspects of...
