Specialists from diverse disciplines discuss the important topics of Tissue Repair and Fibrosis. The Role of Myofibroblast. The Myofibroblast is implicated in many processes, such as tissue repair,fibrosis, and stromal reaction to tumors. This book seeks to provide an overview of the knowledge accumulated since this cell was first describes 25 years ago. Discussions focusses on three main topics: - Cellular and molecular biology of fibroblast and myofibroblasts - Wound healing: experimental models, and - Human fibrocontracted diseases.

From the contents:Cellular and molecular biology of fibroblast and myofibroblast. Some historical and philosophical reflections on the myofibroblast concept. Transcription regulation of the desmin and SM22 genes in vascular concept. Modulation of myofibroblast and smooth muscle phenotypes in the lung. Role of platelet-derived growth factors in angiogenesis and alveogenesis. TGFB gene transfer to the lung induces myofibroblast presence and pulmonary fibrosis.
