α-smooth muscle actin is not a marker of fibrogenic cell activity in skeletal muscle fibrosis

α-Smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) is used as a marker for a subset of activated fibrogenic cells, myofibroblasts, which are regarded as important effector cells of tissue fibrogenesis. We address whether α-SMA-expressing myofibroblasts are detectable in fibrotic muscles of mdx(5cv) mice, a mouse model f...
