after skin has been cut.
Two months
after therapy, tissue analysis showed less scarring and higher levels of regenerative agents such as

cells compared with those treated with SIS alone.
To find out, Deb and his co-authors genetically tagged cardiac
fibroblasts in mice and watched as they transitioned into bone - forming, osteoblast - like
cells after heart injury.

Researchers from the UNC School of Medicine have discovered that
cells called
fibroblasts, which normally give rise to scar tissue
after a heart attack, can be turned into endothelial
cells, which generate blood vessels to supply oxygen and nutrients to the injured regions of the heart, thus greatly reducing the damage done following heart attack.

cell and its environment, and interacts biochemically with a growth factor called
fibroblast growth factor [FGF] to promote stem
cell growth and restoration
after muscle tissue injury.

cells are activated and secrete Interferon - g

cells and connective tissue
cells (known as
fibroblasts) multiply to refill the opening in the skin.

cells.
