2019-03-11
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> : Intestinal fibrosis represents a serious complication of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), often necessitating surgical resections. Myofibroblasts are primarily responsible for interstitial matrix accumulation in fibrotic diseases. However intestinal myofibroblasts (IMF) remain inadequately characterized.
