The NH(2)-terminal peptide of α–smooth muscle actin inhibits force generation by the myofibroblast in vitro and in vivo
Myofibroblasts are specialized fibroblasts responsible for granulation tissue contraction and the soft tissue retractions occurring during fibrocontractive diseases. The marker of fibroblast-myofibroblast modulation is the neo expression of α–smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), the actin isoform typical of...
