The role of small leucine-rich proteoglycans in non-scarring human oral mucosal wound healing
Small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) decorin, biglycan, fibromodulin and lumican are extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules that regulate collagen fibrilogenesis, cell functions and activity of transforming growth factor-P (TGF-ß). Thus, SLRPs may play critical roles in wound healing. In contrast...
