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 ...
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 ...
Engineering of fetal tissue has a high potential for the treatment of acute and chronic wounds of the skin in humans as these cells have high expansion capacity under simple culture conditions and one organ donation can produce Master Cell Banks which can ...
Re-epithelialization is the dominant mode of healing in partial thickness wounds. In order to develop better strategies to monitor such wound healing, 3D HSE models and mathematical models have long been utilized to improve our understanding of epidermis f ...
The evolutionarily conserved Notch signaling cascade plays a pivotal role in the regulation of many fundamental processes such as stem cell maintenance, proliferation, and differentiation. Recently, we aimed to identify downstream target genes regulated by ...
The aim of this thesis is to elucidate the common mechanisms that regulate myofibroblast contraction and intercellular communication, with a particular focus on the role of Ca2+ signalling. Synthesis and remodelling of collagenous matrix by myofibroblasts ...
This report will focus on creation of nanostructured PDMS surfaces with tunable feature dimensions and periodicities, and the use of these surfaces to study the influence of nanotopography on cell-substrate interactions. The topography on surfaces is known ...
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 ...
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 ...
