We have isolated a mouse lysyl oxidase-like (LOXL) cDNA from a mouse embryo cDNA library and used this cDNA to measure changes in steady state levels of LOXL mRNA during the development of carbon tetrachloride-induced liver fibrosis in adult mice. These results revealed the coincident appearance of

Understanding the mechanisms responsible fin-photodamage to the skin is most important fl~r dermatology. 3-D cullures have been used as tools to mimic the in vivo situation lot several years.

We have recently established a novel fibroblast culture system supplemented with L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate. The addition of L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate enables human dermal fibroblasts to organize a three-dimensional dermis-like structure by accumulating collagens and extracellular matrices. The p
## Abstract ## Objective There is evidence that interleukinβ4 (ILβ4) plays a major role in the induction of extracellular matrix protein synthesis in fibrotic disease. We therefore examined the effect of ILβ4 on collagen synthesis in primary fibroblasts isolated from normal and TSK/+ mice, which s
