Understanding of arthrofibrosis: New explorative insights into extracellular matrix remodeling of synovial fibroblasts
26 May 2023
Abstract excerpt
Arthrofibrosis following total knee arthroplasty is a fibroproliferative joint disorder marked by dysregulated biosynthesis of extracellular matrix proteins, such as collagens and proteoglycans. The underlying cellular events remain incompletely understood. Myofibroblasts are highly contractile matrix-producing cells characterized by increased alpha-smooth muscle actin expression and xylosyltransferase-I (XT-I)...
