Effect of cellular aging on fibroblastic phenotype and regulation by hyaluronan

Collectively, the data demonstrated that HA can serve as a signal integrator by facilitating TGF-beta11-mediated CD44-EGF-R-ERK interactions and ultimately regulate fibroblast phenotype. I propose a model to explain this novel mechanism and the functional consequence of age-dependent dysregulation....
