The role of myofibroblasts in orthodontic tooth movement
口腔疾病防治, 2019 Myofibroblasts are fibroblasts with contractile function. As a contractile cell, myofibroblasts can regulate the function of normal organs in normal tissues.

Stromal Myofibroblasts Are Associated with Poor Prognosis in Solid Cancers: A Meta-Analysis of Published Studies. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Published studies have evaluated the impact of stromal myofibroblasts on prognosis in solid cancers. However, the results of these studies remain controversial.

ESSENTIAL ROLE OF LYN IN FIBROSIS
Frontiers in Physiology, 2016 Fibrotic disorders involve replacement of normal parenchyma with myofibroblasts, which deposit connective tissue, leading to obliteration of the function of the underlying organ.

Multicentric myofibroblastic sarcoma [PDF]
BMJ Case Reports, 2014 We report a case of synchronous, multicentric low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma presenting in a 62-year-old man. He initially presented with inflammatory symmetric polyarthritis and adhesive capsulitis of his shoulder and hips bilaterally and did not respond to a trial of disease modifying antirheumatic drugs.

Novel Therapies for the Treatment of Cardiac Fibrosis Following Myocardial Infarction
Biomedicines, 2022 Cardiac fibrosis is a common pathological consequence of most myocardial diseases. It is associated with the excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins as well as fibroblast differentiation into myofibroblasts in the cardiac interstitium ...

Myofibroblasts and Transforming Growth Factor-Beta1 in Reactive Gingival Overgrowths
eJournal of Oral Maxillofacial Research, 2013 Objectives: The aim of this study was to detect the presence of myofibroblasts and transforming growth factor-beta1 in fibrous and ossifying-fibrous epulis and their possible contribution to the collagenous connective tissue formation.

Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumour
European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, 2020 Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT) is a rare mesenchymal tumour. It is usually benign but may behave as a malignant tumour with multiple recurrences and metastases. We present the case of a young woman with weight loss associated with diffuse abdominal pain, who was shown to have a large pancreatic mass.

Myofibroblast dedifferentiation proceeds via distinct transcriptomic and phenotypic transitions
JCI Insight, 2021 Myofibroblasts are the major cellular source of collagen, and their accumulation — via differentiation from fibroblasts and resistance to apoptosis — is a hallmark of tissue fibrosis.

Biomolecules, 2022 Mesenchymal cells (keratocytes, corneal fibroblasts, and myofibroblasts), as well as mesenchymal progenitor bone marrow-derived fibrocytes, are the major cellular contributors to stromal fibrosis after injury to the cornea.

Cytoglobin as a Marker of Hepatic Stellate Cell-derived Myofibroblasts
Frontiers in Physiology, 2015 Myofibroblasts play important roles in inflammation, fibrosis and tumorigenesis in chronically inflamed liver. Liver myofibroblasts originate from hepatic stellate cells, portal fibroblasts or mesothelial cells, and they are localized in and around ...
