Myofibroblast in the ligamentum flavum hypertrophic activity

open access: yes, 2017
Majority of the previous studies compared lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) and lumbar disc herniation (LDH) patients for analyses of LFH. However, the separation of normal/hypertrophied LF has often been ambiguous and the severity of hypertrophic activity ...

Harnessing blood clot as a native scaffold for orchestrating tissue repairs and regeneration

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
The blood clot, owing to its dynamic composition and unique microenvironment, holds significant yet underappreciated potential for tissue engineering. This review systematically summarizes the pathophysiology of clot formation, the key regulatory factors shaping its microenvironment, and its applications in both pre‐clinical and clinical settings ...

Inhibition of PI3K-Akt pathway by LY294002 inhibits myofibroblast differentiation.

open access: yes, 2013
Primary HLFs were treated with the PI3K inhibitor LY294002 (50µM) followed by TGFβ (5ng/ml) for 48 hours and A, immunoblots were performed to detect expression of the indicated proteins, and B, immunofluorescence for αSMA (green) was performed to assess ...

Exosome‐mimetic vesicle‐encapsulated multi‐responsive antibacterial hydrogel core‐shell microneedle patch promotes scarless healing of infected wounds

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
The core‐shell microneedle patch VP@FNV‐CuO2‐MN was fabricated by encapsulating n‐CuO2 in a moderately crosslinked PVA/CMCS/Borax4 hydrogel shell and VP‐loaded fibroblast membrane nanovesicles (VP@FNV) in a highly crosslinked PVA/CMCS/Borax6 hydrogel core. Upon application to an infected wound, the acidic microenvironment triggers Fenton‐like reactions

The Role of PLCB1 In Myofibroblast Differentiation

open access: yes
Fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation is a necessary process for wound repair, but dysregulation can cause fibrosis. This study examines the role of phospholipase C beta 1 (PLCβ1) in regulating myofibroblast differentiation through ɑ-SMA expression.

Myofibroblast contraction activates latent TGF-beta1 from the extracellular matrix

open access: yes
The conjunctive presence of mechanical stress and active transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) is essential to convert fibroblasts into contractile myofibroblasts, which cause tissue contractures in fibrotic diseases. Using cultured myofibroblasts
