The researchers found that a specific stem / progenitor cell population was inhibited following radiation in mice missing Nrf2, and that alveolar type 2 cells in these mice were more likely to change into myofibroblasts — a cell type implicated in fibrosis.

By 3 to 7 days, these cells differentiated into myofibroblasts that secreted abundant extracellular matrix proteins and expressed smooth muscle α - actin to structurally support the necrotic area.

During fibrosis these cells differentiate into myofibroblasts, causing scarring and organ failure.

Not exact matches

The first and most obvious use would be to develop a therapy that signals myofibroblasts to convert into adipocytes — helping wounds heal without scarring.

Once inside the myofibroblasts, the virus downloads the transcription factors, which transform the cells into hepatocytes.

The orbital remodeling in TED is likely induced by infiltrating T lymphocytes and mast cells, which activate orbital fibroblast effector cells to either proliferate and form scar - producing cells called myofibroblasts or turn into pro-inflammatory fat cells.
