  2. 1. Connective tissue contraction in wound healing : An experimental study in vivo and in vitro

    Author : M. Reza Ghassemifar; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Contraction of connective tissue is an important part of tissue repair that reduces the wound space and helps to decrease the formation of scar tissue, both of which are needed to restore tissue integrity. In the present study, certain cellular mechanisms that are active during connective tissue contraction were assessed and the influence of transforming growth factor-. READ MORE
