Tissue-specific endothelial cells are more than simply a barrier lining capillaries and are proved to be capable of remarkable plasticity to become active collagen matrix-producing myofibroblasts (MFs) in solid organs with fibrosis.

Myofibroblasts in Fibrotic Kidneys [PDF]
Fibrosis of the kidney glomerulus and interstitium are characteristic features of almost all chronic kidney diseases. Fibrosis is tightly associated with destruction of capillaries, inflammation, and epithelial injury which progresses to loss of nephrons, and replacement of kidney parenchyma with scar tissue. Understanding the origins and nature of the

Interactions between myofibroblasts and colorectal cancer (CRC) epithelial cell lines [PDF]
Myofibroblasts are an important cellular component of the tumour microenvironment and play an essential role in facilitating carcinogenesis through bidirectional communications with epithelial cells. Accumulation of myofibroblasts is associated with poor

The biology of the myofibroblast
The mechanisms leading to the retraction of the granulation tissue during wound healing have not been fully elucidated to date [reviewed in 1]. Our laboratory several years ago described that fibroblasts present in granulation tissue exhibit several ultrastructural features of smooth muscle cells, including the presence of microfilament bundles with ...

IntroductionKeloids form as a pathological response to skin wound healing, and their etiopathology is poorly understood. Myofibroblasts, which are cells transformed from normal fibroblasts, are believed to contribute to pathological scar formation in ...

Profibrotic potential of Prominin-1+ epithelial progenitor cells in pulmonary fibrosis
Background In idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis loss of alveolar epithelium induces inflammation of the pulmonary tissue followed by accumulation of pathogenic myofibroblasts leading eventually to respiratory failures.
