Abstract excerpt

The identification of myofibroblasts is essential for mechanistic in vitro studies, cell-based drug tests, and to assess the level of fibrosis in experimental animal or human fibrosis. The name myo-fibroblast was chosen in 1971 to express that the formation of contractile features-stress fibers is the essential criterion to define these cells. Additional neo-expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in stress...
