The Areca Nut and Oral Submucosal Fibrosis: A Narrative Review

Dentistry Journal
The areca nut (AN) is chewed by approximately 600 million people worldwide. Among AN chewers, ~5% develop oral submucosal fibrosis (OSF), a progressive fibrotic disorder of the oral cavity.

Liver Myofibroblasts

, 2016
Myofibroblasts (MFB) are found in most tissues of the body. They have the matrix-producing functions of fibroblasts and contractile properties that are known from smooth muscle cells.

Acetylation: a critical factor in maintaining intestinal inflammation? [PDF]

, 2010
PhDIn inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), both chronic pro-inflammatory pathways and failure of anti-inflammatory (healing) mechanisms sustain disease. The two major anti-inflammatory gut cytokines are transforming growth factor (TGF)-β and interleukin (IL)

Identification and validation of a signature based on myofibroblastic cancer-associated fibroblast marker genes for predicting prognosis, immune infiltration, and therapeutic response in bladder cancer [PDF]

Investigative and Clinical Urology
Purpose: Myofibroblastic cancer-associated fibroblasts (myCAFs) are important components of the tumor microenvironment closely associated with tumor stromal remodeling and immunosuppression.

The Role of Activated Stromal Cells in Fibrotic Foci Formation and Reversion

Cells
Fibrotic focus is a pivotal morphofunctional unit in developing fibrosis in various tissues. For most fibrotic diseases, including progressive forms, the foci are considered unable to remodel and contribute to the worsening of prognosis.

Human colonic subepithelial myofibroblasts modulate transepithelial resistance and secretory response

, 1999
The epithelium of the gastrointestinal tract transports ions and water but excludes luminal microorganisms and toxic molecules. The factors regulating these important functions are not fully understood.

Myofibroblasts and the Pathogenesis of Dupuytren’s Disease [PDF]

, 2010
Dupuytren’s disease is defined in Green’s Operative Hand Surgery as a condition of the hand characterised by the development of new tissue in the form of nodules and cords.

Myofibroblasts work best under stress

Myofibroblasts are reparative connective tissue cells that contribute to the reconstruction of injured tissue by secreting new extracellular matrix and by exerting high contractile force. Deregulation of these activities results in tissue contracture and
