Identification and mechanism of action of keratinocyte-releasable factors in regulation of extracellular matrix expression

The complexity of multi-cellular organisms demands a dynamic reciprocity between neighboring cells in any given tissue. The disruption in keratinocytes and fibroblasts cross-talk in skin has been linked to an imbalance in extracellular matrix (ECM) expression leading to the onset of fibrosis such as...
