## Abstract ## Background Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a possible key determinant of progressive fibrosis. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) is a powerful tool for silencing gene expression postβtranscriptionally. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine whether synthetic siRNA tar
## Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are thought to play an important role in skeletal muscle cell growth and differentiation. In view of the MMP inducing function of EMMPRIN/CD147, its role in myogenic cell differentiation was investigated. EMMPRIN level increased during differentiation of
Recent studies have shown that extracellular matrix (ECM) substitutes can have a dramatic impact on cell growth, differentiation and function. However, these ECMs are often applied generically and have yet to be developed for specific cell types. In this study, we developed tissue-specific ECM-based
