Hernia fibroblasts lack β-estradiol induced alterations of collagen gene expression
BACKGROUND: Estrogens are reported to increase type I and type III collagen deposition and to regulate Metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) expression. These proteins are reported to be dysregulated in incisional hernia formation resulting in a significantly decreased type I to III ratio. We aimed to evaluat...
