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

This suggests that body-site specific keloid formation may be dependent on the difference in the development and resolution of tension in the wound bed at nonglabrous vs. glabrous sites in keloid prone patients.
α-SMA content and apoptosis were evaluated as a function of serum, TGFβ1 and collagen type I. The observed phenotypic differences between fibroblasts grown from glabrous vs. nonglabrous tissue suggest a reason for the exclusion of keloids from specific body sites of keloid prone individuals.
Fibroblasts at glabrous sites (palms, soles) do not promote keloid formation consistent with an earlier reduction in cellularity, necessary for a normal wound healing.
These results suggest that, at least in part, the difference between keloid and palmar fibroblasts may be due to particular levels of TGFβ1-pathway related proteins at nonglabrous vs. glabrous sites.
It is noteworthy that tension/mechanical loading is exerted through the ECM by fibroblasts expressing a "synthetic" fibroblast phenotype [ 53 ] . As TGFβ1 supports this phenotype, keloid formation at glabrous sites may be further limited by the PP fibroblast requirement for higher and/or more sustained levels of TGFβ1.
