Lymphedema-Associated Fibroblasts Are Related to Fibrosis and Stage Progression in Patients and a Murine Microsurgical Model
13 Oct 2023
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The driver of secondary lymphedema (SL) progression is chronic inflammation, which promotes fibrosis. Despite advances in preclinical research, a specific effector cell subpopulation as a biomarker for therapy response or stage progression is still missing for SL. METHODS: Whole skin samples of 35 murine subjects of a microsurgically induced SL model and 12 patients with SL were collected and their...
