Hypertrophic scars, keloids, and contractures. The cellular and molecular basis for therapy.
Keloids, hypertrophic scars, and contractures are a result of aberrations of the normal wound healing process. An understanding of the cellular and molecular events that are implicated in the… Expand

Peripheral Blood Fibrocytes from Burn Patients: Identification and Quantification of Fibrocytes in Adherent Cells Cultured from Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells
Peripheral blood fibrocytes are a newly identified leukocyte subpopulation that displays fibroblast-like properties. These blood-borne cells can rapidly enter the site of injury at the same time as… Expand

Critical Role of Transforming Growth Factor Beta in Different Phases of Wound Healing.
SIGNIFICANCE This review highlights the critical role of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β)1-3 within different phases of wound healing, in particular, late-stage wound healing. It is also very… Expand

Uterine insulin-like growth factor-1: regulation of expression and its role in estrogen-induced uterine proliferation.
THE response of the uterus to estrogen is a complexphenomenon involving numerous biochemical events (1). The most dramatic outcome of estrogenization of the immature uterus is the proliferation of… Expand

Cutting Edge: Human Eosinophils Regulate T Cell Subset Selection through Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase1
Allergy involves eosinophilia and Th2 polarization. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO)-catalyzed conversion of tryptophan to kynurenines (KYN) regulates T cell function. We show that human eosinophils… Expand

Potential application of gaseous nitric oxide as a topical antimicrobial agent.
The presence of bacterial colonization in non-healing wounds and burn injuries interferes significantly with the normal process of healing. Recent evidence suggests that nitric oxide (NO) plays an… Expand

Hypertrophic scar tissues and fibroblasts produce more transforming growth factor‐β1 mRNA and protein than normal skin and cells
Transforming growth factor‐β1 is a well‐known fibrogenic cytokine produced by many types of cells including dermal fibroblasts. To investigate whether this fibrogenic cytokine is involved in… Expand

Chemical characterization and quantification of proteoglycans in human post-burn hypertrophic and mature scars.
1. Samples of normal skin from four patients, post-burn hypertrophic scar from five patients and post-burn mature scar from six patients were analysed for hydroxyproline, water and uronic acid and… Expand

Enhanced expression of mRNA for transforming growth factor-beta, type I and type III procollagen in human post-burn hypertrophic scar tissues.
To explore the possible role of locally synthesized transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-beta 1) and procollagen gene expression in postburn hypertrophic scars, we have compared mRNA levels for… Expand
