Myofibroblasts. II. Intestinal subepithelial myofibroblasts [PDF]
American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology, 1999 Intestinal subepithelial myofibroblasts (ISEMF) and the interstitial cells of Cajal are the two types of myofibroblasts identified in the intestine.

Targeted apoptosis of myofibroblasts by elesclomol inhibits hypertrophic scar formation
EBioMedicine, 2020 Background: Hypertrophic scar (HS) is characterized by the increased proliferation and decreased apoptosis of myofibroblasts. Myofibroblasts, the main effector cells for dermal fibrosis, develop from normal fibroblasts.

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 ...

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.

Role of Fibroblasts and Myofibroblasts on the Pathogenesis and Treatment of Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Biomolecules, 2022 Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a multifactorial connective tissue disorder caused by damage to the supportive structures of the pelvic floor, leading to the descent of pelvic organs in the vagina.

Dedifferentiated early postnatal lung myofibroblasts redifferentiate in adult disease [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyAlveolarization ensures sufficient lung surface area for gas exchange, and during bulk alveolarization in mice (postnatal day [P] 4.5–14.5), alpha-smooth muscle actin (SMA)+ myofibroblasts accumulate, secrete elastin, and lay down alveolar septum. Herein,

Stromal myofibroblasts in focal reactive overgrowths of the gingiva
Brazilian Oral Research, 2012 Focal reactive overgrowths are among the most common oral mucosal lesions. The gingiva is a significant site affected by these lesions, when triggered by chronic inflammation in response to microorganisms in dental plaque.

The myofibroblast at a glance [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 2020 ABSTRACT In 1971, Gabbiani and co-workers discovered and characterized the “modification of fibroblasts into cells which are capable of an active spasm” (contraction) in rat wound granulation tissue and, accordingly, named these cells ‘myofibroblasts’.
