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.

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 ...

Human Galectins Induce Conversion of Dermal Fibroblasts into Myofibroblasts and Production of Extracellular Matrix: Potential Application in Tissue Engineering and Wound Repair [PDF]
, 2011 Members of the galectin family of endogenous lectins are potent adhesion/growth-regulatory effectors. Their multi-functionality opens possibilities for their use in bioapplications. We studied whether human galectins induce the conversion of human dermal

Myofibroblasts and polyploid cells in the conjunctival surface after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation [PDF]
, 2011 Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is a potentially curative treatment modality for hematological malignancies, such as leukemia and lymphoma. However, a major complication of the procedure is that the immune effector cells in

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.

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 ...

Giant Intramuscular Nodular Fasciitis Masquerading as Soft Tissue Sarcoma with Neural Involvement - A Case Report [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016 Nodular Fasciitis (NF) is described as a benign reactive proliferation of myofibroblasts that occurs predominantly in the subcutaneous location. Most commonly presents as rapidly growing swelling in the young adults, with usual size of less than 4cm and
