PDGF-BB enhances collagen gel contraction through a PI3K-PLCγ-PKC-cofilin pathway
Abstract Cell-mediated contraction of collagenous matrices is modulated by various growth factors and cytokines, such as platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB). Here we used a genetic cell model to delineate defined signaling pathways that enhance collagen gel contraction downstream of ligand-s...
