Words similar to myofibroblasts
Example sentences for: myofibroblasts
How can you use “myofibroblasts” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Myofibroblasts are rich in F-actin bundles, which establish cell-cell and cell-matrix linkages and thus generate the force for wound contraction.
This dose of cCAF was chosen because it was the optimal dose for inducing differentiation of myofibroblasts, cells known to produce large amounts of ECM [ 4 ] . Media was changed and new cCAF or peptides added every day for 4 days.
These data taken together strongly suggest that as chemokines induce the differentiation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts they contribute to the production of TN in the granulation tissue.
In the granulation tissue of burn wounds, expression of groα /MGSA and CXCR2 (the receptor for MGSA) was associated with fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells/myofibroblasts and a subpopulation of macrophages [ 7 ] . Groα/MGSA and IL-8 have also been shown to enhance re-epithelialization of human skin grafts in chimeric mice [ 29 38 ] . It has also been found that several CXC chemokines can modulate angiogenesis [ 39 ] , a process that is critical for proper healing.
Once the wound is filled with granulation tissue and covered with a neoepidermis, a portion of the wound fibroblasts transforms into myofibroblasts, which contract the wound to reduce and strengthen the defect.
