2Aand 2B, PP cultures can also be distinguished by a paucity of fibroblasts with high granularity (side scattering), a characteristic often associated with the elaboration of RER (rough endoplasmic reticulum) [ 44 ] . In both confluent and post-confluent cultures, the populations of cells with the highest granularity were found in the non-PP isolates (keloid and nonplantar).
Fibroblasts at glabrous sites (palms, soles) do not promote keloid formation consistent with an earlier reduction in cellularity, necessary for a normal wound healing.
Although myofibroblasts were not detected in vivo [ 51 ] , the propensity of keloid fibroblasts to express α-SMA in vitro and the loss of this protein upon matrix contraction (gel relaxation) do not allow one to dismiss a role for myofibroblasts in keloids.
Rather it may be necessary to re-evaluate α-SMA expression in the early stages of keloid development, when tension within the wound bed is high.
Together with our previous results demonstrating higher levels of thrombospondin-1 in keloid fibroblasts [ 36 ] , the data suggest that
