Abstract excerpt
Post-mitotic, non-proliferative dermal fibroblasts have crucial functions in maintenance and restoration of tissue homeostasis. They are involved in essential processes such as wound healing, pigmentation and hair growth, but also tumor development and aging-associated diseases. These processes are energetically highly demanding and error prone when mitochondrial damage occurs. However, mitochondrial function in...
