Comparison of Myofibroblasts Between Solid/Multicystic Ameloblastoma and Unicystic Ameloblastoma: An Immunohistochemical Analysis [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016 Introduction: Microenvironment is crucial for the maintenance of cellular functions and tissue integrity suggesting that cancer-induced changes in the stroma may contribute to cancer invasion and its biological behaviour. One of the major constituent

The Myofibroblasts’ War on Drugs [PDF]
Developmental Cell, 2018 The intestinal lining faces a constant assault from harmful gut contents. A study by Chee and colleagues in this issue of Developmental Cell describes how a population of myofibroblasts resists these threats and boosts regeneration of the intestinal epithelium.

Editorial: Liver Myofibroblasts [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2016 Myofibroblasts (MFB) were first identified in the granulation tissue of healing wounds. They have features of both fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells. In contrast to fibroblasts they contain cytoplasmic actin microfilaments (stress fibers) connected to the extracellular matrix (ECM) by focal contacts.

Human liver myofibroblasts during development and diseases with a focus on portal (myo)fibroblasts.
Frontiers in Physiology, 2015 Myofibroblasts are stromal cells mainly involved in tissue repair. These cells present contractile properties and play a major role in extracellular matrix deposition and remodeling. In liver, myofibroblasts are found in two critical situations.

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.

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.

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 ...
