Human uterine leiomyoma-derived fibroblasts stimulate uterine leiomyoma cell proliferation and collagen type I production, and activate RTKs and TGF beta receptor signaling in coculture

Walmer, David; Robboy, Stanley (BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2010)

Background: Uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) are benign smooth muscle tumors that often contain an excessive extracellular matrix (ECM). In the present study, we investigated the interactions between human uterine leiomyoma ...
Ligament-Derived Matrix Stimulates a Ligamentous Phenotype in Human Adipose-Derived Stem Cells

Guilak, Farshid (MARY ANN LIEBERT INC, 2010)

Human adipose stem cells (hASCs) can differentiate into a variety of phenotypes. Native extracellular matrix (e.g., demineralized bone matrix or small intestinal submucosa) can influence the growth and differentiation of ...
