Heterogeneity of myofibroblast phenotypic features: an example of fibroblastic cell plasticity.

Virchows Archiv : an international journal of pathology - 1 Jan 1994

Schmitt-Gräff A, Desmoulière A, Gabbiani G

Abstract excerpt

Granulation tissue fibroblasts (myofibroblasts) develop several ultrastructural and biochemical features of smooth muscle (SM) cells, including the presence of microfilament bundles and the expression of alpha-SM actin, the actin isoform present in SM cells and myoepithelial cells and particularly abundant in vascular SM cells. Myofibroblasts have been suggested to play a role in wound contraction and in...
