Abstract excerpt
The regular loss of cellularity during involutional phase of nodular palmar fibromatosis (Morbus Dupuytren) indicates a regulated process known as programmed cell death (apoptosis). Using the TUNEL method apoptosis-related DNA fragmentation is detected in numerous cells as a characteristic feature of fibromatosis noduli of involutional phase. By means of double labelling technique, alpha-smooth muscle actin...
