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

In relaxed gels there was no detectable increase in α-SMA in palmar fibroblasts and a decrease in α-SMA in keloid fibroblasts.
The inability of keloid fibroblasts to respond with increased α-SMA to TGFβ1 may be a consequence of their ability to initiate gel contraction (only the central portion of the gel remained attached) and apoptosis.
While in vitro analyses of TGFβ1 levels in keloid and normal fibroblasts have yielded variable results [ 15 16 17 18 19 20 ] , higher levels of TGFβ1 receptors and Smad3 activation were recently reported in keloid fibroblasts [ 21 ] . Thus, procedures that lower TGFβ1 expression may help prevent keloid development [ 15 16 18 22 ] .
FACS analysis demonstrated that these cells were all apoptotic (not shown, see also [ 36 ] ). Although TGFβ1 acted anti-apoptotically in PP cultures (palmar and normal plantar fibroblasts) and prevented the shedding of cells into the media, its effect was dissimilar in non-PP cultures, where TGFβ1 had either no impact (keloid T and normal nonplantar fibroblasts) or was pro-apoptotic (keloid D cultures).
The decrease in percentage of myofibroblasts in the relaxed gels containing keloid fibroblasts (compare Fig.
