The Myofibroblast: TGFβ-1, A Conductor which Plays a Key Role in Fibrosis by Regulating the Balance between PPARγ and the Canonical WNT Pathway
Myofibroblasts are non-muscular contractile cells that occur physiologically in organs such as in stem villi of the human placenta during normal pregnancies. They have the ability to contract and relax in response to changes in the volume of the intervillous chamber. Myofibroblasts are also found in...
