Suppression of the production of extracellular matrix and alpha-smooth muscle actin induced by transforming growth factor-beta1 in fibroblasts of the flexor tendon sheath by hepatocyte growth factor
{{output}}
We examined the effectiveness of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in blocking production of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1-induced collagen I, fibronectin, and alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) in the flexor tendon sheath of rabbits in vitro. Fibrobl... ...
