Fibroblasts are cells that are easily identified by their distinctive spindle shape, a characteristic that delineates them from other structural cells of tissues, such as epithelial cells. They are a ...
The effect of leukoregulin, a 50-kD lymphokine with unique antitumor properties, was studied in vitro on several fibroblast functions. Leukoregulin did not inhibit fibroblast proliferation, as ...
Scientists at the Babraham Institute have developed a method to “time jump” human skin cells by 30 years, turning back the cellular aging clock without losing specialized cellular function.
A team of University at Buffalo researchers has developed a new strontium-loaded scaffold that can be personalized to fit any size dental implant and could help improve healing and tissue attachment ...
In a recent study published in Scientific Reports, researchers reported that microfibril-associated protein 5 (MFAP5) mediates wound healing through its pro-fibrotic effect by modulating collagen ...
Background Intestinal fibrosis, a hallmark complication of Crohn’s disease (CD), frequently progresses to stricture formation ...
The novel radiotracer ¹⁸F-FAPI-RGD in PET/CT scans shows potential for diagnosing ILD in connective tissue disease patients by highlighting fibroblast activation and tissue remodeling. Patients with ...
