Cadherins establish mechano-resistant junctions between fibrogenic fibroblasts

Philippe Pittet

During wound healing and in a variety of fibrocontractive diseases, fibroblasts differentiate into contractile myofibroblasts by acquiring stress fibers and by expressing α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA). Myofibroblasts of wound granulation tissue, in contras ...

SciFi detector and associated method for real-time determination of profile and output factor for small fields in stereotactic radiotherapy

Guido Haefeli, Frédéric Blanc, Plamen Hristov Hopchev, Philippe Pittet

Purpose For determining small-field profile and output factor during stereotactic radiotherapy quality assurance (QA) procedures, we propose a novel system based on the scintillating fiber (SciFi) detector with output image acquisition and processing to al ...

Fibrogenic fibroblasts increase intercellular adhesion strength by reinforcing individual OB-cadherin bonds

Andrzej Kulik, Jean-Jacques Meister, Boris Hinz, Kyumin Lee, Philippe Pittet

We have previously shown that the switch from N-cadherin to OB-cadherin expression increases intercellular adhesion between fibroblasts during their transition from a migratory to a fibrogenic phenotype. Using atomic force microscopy we here show that part ...
