How can you use “ccaf” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

FN accumulation due to cCAF treatment also differs from that of TN.
It is not clear from their results whether the elevation in collagen production in normal fibroblasts may have been small, like that observed with cCAF, and therefore gone unnoticed.
Some of the fibroblasts differentiate into myofibroblasts, which contract to close the wound [ 4 14 15 ] . Myofibroblasts are fibrogenic, showing elevated expression of interstitial collagens, laminin, FN and TN, and inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases such as TIMP-1 [ 15 16 17 18 19 ] . Because cCAF is expressed highly in the granulation tissue of wounds in areas where ECM is abundant [ 3 6 11 ] , and it stimulates fibroblasts to differentiate into myofibroblasts [ 4 ] , we investigated whether this chemokine stimulates the production of the four major ECM molecules mentioned above, interstitial Colls I and III, TN and cellular FN.
Therefore, we tested whether cCAF affects the production or activity of the gelatinases MMP-2 or MMP-9, or the collagenase MMP-1, all of which digest collagens I and III.
Work of others has shown that TN is expressed in association with differentiation of myofibroblasts and is important in cell migration during healing [ 25 42 43 44 ] . Here we show that cCAF and the N-peptide stimulate fibroblasts in culture to express TN and that this increase in TN is due to an increase in mRNA levels.
