Transient expression of myofibroblast-like cells in rat rib fracture callus

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: We have previously shown that early fracture callus of rat rib has viscoelastic and contractile properties resembling those of smooth muscle. The cells responsible for this contractility have been hypothesized to be myofibroblast-like in nature. In soft-tissue healing, force...
