Connective tissue growth factor in tumor pathogenesisFibrogenesis & Tissue Repair - Tập 5 - Trang 1-7 - 2012
Annica Jacobson, Janet L Cunningham
Key roles for connective tissue growth factor (CTGF/CCN2) are demonstrated in the wound repair process where it promotes myofibroblast differentiation and angiogenesis. Similar mechanisms are active in tumor-reactive stroma where CTGF is expressed. Other potential roles include prevention of hypoxia-induced apoptosis and promoting epithelial-mesenchymal transistion (EMT). CTGF expression in tumors...... hiện toàn bộ
Biglycan fragmentation in pathologies associated with extracellular matrix remodeling by matrix metalloproteinasesFibrogenesis & Tissue Repair - Tập 6 - Trang 1-10 - 2013

The proteoglycan biglycan (BGN) is involved in collagen fibril assembly and its fragmentation is likely to be associated with collagen turnover during the pathogenesis of diseases which involve dysregulated extracellular matrix remodeling (ECMR), such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and liver fibrosis. The scope of the present study was to develop a novel enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for...... hiện toàn bộ
Redox mechanisms in hepatic chronic wound healing and fibrogenesisFibrogenesis & Tissue Repair - Tập 1 - Trang 1-58 - 2008
Erica Novo, Maurizio Parola
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated within cells or, more generally, in a tissue environment, may easily turn into a source of cell and tissue injury. Aerobic organisms have developed evolutionarily conserved mechanisms and strategies to carefully control the generation of ROS and other oxidative stress-related radical or non-radical reactive intermediates (that is, to maintain redox homeostas...... hiện toàn bộ
Prospects for clinical use of reprogrammed cells for autologous treatment of macular degenerationFibrogenesis & Tissue Repair - Tập 8 - Trang 1-9 - 2015

Since the discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) in 2006, the symptoms of many human diseases have been reversed in animal models with iPSC therapy, setting the stage for future clinical development. From the animal data it is clear that iPSC are rapidly becoming the lead cell type for cell replacement therapy and for the newly developing field of iPSC-derived body organ transplantatio...... hiện toàn bộ
Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species induce protein and DNA modifications driving arthrofibrosis following total knee arthroplastyFibrogenesis & Tissue Repair - - 2009
Theresa A Freeman, Javad Parvizi, Craig J Della Valle, Marla J Steinbeck
Arthrofibrosis, occurring in 3%-4% of patients following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), is a challenging condition for which there is no defined cause. The hypothesis for this study was that disregulated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitrogen species (RNS) mediates matrix protein and DNA modifications, which result in excessive fibroblastic proliferation. We found increased numbe...... hiện toàn bộ
Molecular and cellular mechanisms of pulmonary fibrosisFibrogenesis & Tissue Repair - Tập 5 - Trang 1-24 - 2012
Nevins W Todd, Irina G Luzina, Sergei P Atamas
Pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic lung disease characterized by excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) and remodeling of the lung architecture. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is considered the most common and severe form of the disease, with a median survival of approximately three years and no proven effective therapy. Despite the fact that effective treatments are absent and the preci...... hiện toàn bộ
Autologous keratinocyte suspension in platelet concentrate accelerates and enhances wound healing – a prospective randomized clinical trial on skin graft donor sites: platelet concentrate and keratinocytes on donor sitesFibrogenesis & Tissue Repair - Tập 6 - Trang 1-8 - 2013
Samia Guerid, Salim E Darwiche, Mette M Berger, Lee Ann Applegate, Messod Benathan, Wassim Raffoul
Wound healing involves complex mechanisms, which, if properly chaperoned, can enhance patient recovery. The abilities of platelets and keratinocytes may be harnessed in order to stimulate wound healing through the formation of platelet clots, the release of several growth factors and cytokines, and cell proliferation. The aim of the study was to test whether autologous keratinocyte suspensions in ...... hiện toàn bộ
