Wound healing in hypertrophic scarring and keloid animal models presents significant differences when compared with humans. A brief review is presented about hypertrophic scarring in animal models during the last 5 years. ...

Fibroblasts are thought to be partially responsible for the persisting contractile forces that result in burn contractures. Using a monolayer cell culture and fibroblast populated collagen lattice (FPCL) three-dimensional ...

Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) upregulation has been implicated in hypertrophic scars and keloids, but it is unclear if it is the cause or an effect of excessive scar formation. in this study, we overexpressed ...

Introduction: The resulting fibrosis in the healing process can be steeper than usual forming hyperproliferative skin scarring such as hypertrophic scar and keloid, which latter is unique to humans. Both scars have more ...

Background: The uncarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC) has been described as a regulator of glucose metabolism in mice, and it is decreased in human type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Although inversely correlated with serum ...

Background. in vitro studies have demonstrated that electrical current may affect fibroblast proliferation and synthesis of collagen fibers. in humans, the application of electrical current by positioning the positive ...

Los condilomas o verrugas genitales son producidos por el virus del papiloma humano del que existen más de 100 genotipos distintos. De ellos, cerca de 40 son transmitidos sexualmente. Se presenta el caso de una mujer con ...
