During wound healing and fibrocontractive diseases fibroblasts acquire a smooth muscle cell-like phenotype by differentiating into contractile force generating myofibroblasts. We examined whether regulation of myofibroblast contraction in granulation tissu ...
The differentiation of fibroblasts to contractile myofibroblasts, which is characterized by de novo expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA), is crucial for wound healing and a hallmark of tissue scarring and fibrosis. These processes often foll ...
Myofibroblasts are specialized fibroblasts that contribute to wound healing by producing extracellular matrix and by contracting the granulation tissue. They appear in a phase of wound healing when the dermis strongly interacts with activated epidermal ker ...
Formation of new vessels in granulation tissue during wound healing has been assumed to occur solely through sprouting angiogenesis. In contrast, we show here that neovascularization can be accomplished by nonangiogenic expansion of preexisting vessels. Us ...
Neoformation of intercellular adherens junctions accompanies the differentiation of fibroblasts into contractile myofibroblasts, a key event during development of fibrosis and in wound healing. We have previously shown that intercellular mechanical couplin ...
We studied the mechanisms underlying the severely impaired wound healing associated with human leukocyte-adhesion deficiency syndrome-1 (LAD1) using a murine disease model. In CD18(-/-) mice, healing of full-thickness wounds was severely delayed during gra ...
We show here that the alpha, beta, and gamma isotypes of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) are expressed in the mouse epidermis during fetal development and that they disappear progressively from the interfollicular epithelium after birth. ...
An increasing number of patients are being treated with growth hormone (GH) for the enhancement of body growth but also as an anti-aging strategy. However, the side effects of GH have been poorly defined. In this study we determined the effect of GH on wou ...

Postsurgical adhesions represent a common complication following a variety of surgical procedures. We sought to develop and evaluate a water-soluble polymer that could self-assemble onto tissue surfaces, forming a barrier on the surface. A copolymer was sy ...
Fibrin plays an important role in wound healing and regeneration, and enjoys widespread use in surgery and tissue engineering. The enzymatic activity of Factor XIIIa was employed to covalently incorporate exogenous bioactive peptides within fibrin during c ...
