Background: Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a nodal serine/threonine protein kinase critical for the control of fundamental cellular processes. Dysregulated mTOR signalling has been shown in
The differentiation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts mediates tissue wound healing and fibrotic remodeling. To better understand this process we performed a genome-wide screen in fibroblasts, which
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) plays a critical role in connective tissue remodeling by fibroblasts during tissue repair and fibrosis. We investigated the molecular pathways in the transmission of ET-1 signals t
BackgroundThe pathophysiology of keloid formation is not yet understood, so the identification of biomarkers for kelod can be one step towards designing new targeting therapies which will improve outc
