In vitro 3D cell sheet-based model for unraveling scar pathophysiology

Fibroblasts are key players in the scarring process. In hypertrophic scars, fibroblasts suffer phenotypical changes into myofibroblasts persisting in the wound under the influence of local biochemical (TGFb1) and biomechanical signaling leading to enhanced immature extracellular matrix (ECM) synthes...
