## Abstract Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF/CCN2) is a cysteineβrich, extracellular matrix (ECM) protein that acts as an anabolic growth factor to regulate osteoblast differentiation and function. Recent studies have identified CTGF as a downstream effector of transforming growth factorβΞ²1 (T
## Abstract Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF/CCN2) is a matricellular protein induced by transforming growth factor (TGF)βΞ² and intimately involved with tissue repair and overexpressed in various fibrotic conditions. We previously showed that keratinocytes in vitro downregulate TGFβΞ²βinduced e
## Background: Connective tissue growth factor (ctgf) predominantly is expressed in hypertrophic chondrocytes and its specific receptors are demonstrated on chondrocytic cells. therefore, ctgf may be involved in the proliferation and/or differentiation of cartilage cells. in the current study, ctgf
## Abstract Skin fibrotic disorders such as systemic sclerosis (SSc) are characterized by an excessive production of extracellular matrix (ECM) and understood to develop under the influence of certain growth factors. Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a cysteineβrich mitogenic peptide that i
