## Abstract The tight skin 2 (Tsk2) mutation is an ENU induced dominant mutation localized on mouse chromosome 1. While the molecular defect is unknown, Tsk2/+ mice display cutaneous thickening associated with excessive matrix production and are used as a model of scleroderma. The purpose of this s

## Abstract This review describes normal and abnormal wound healing, the latter characterized by excessive fibrosis and scarring, which for lung can result in morbidity and sometimes mortality. The cells, the extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, and the growth factors regulating the synthesis, degr
## 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
A complex interrelationship exists between the extracellular matrix and cytokine signaling in articular chondrocytes. We sought to determine whether the extracellular matrix serves as a regulatory component of transforming growth factor-beta1 expression. Bovine articular chondrocytes were isolated a
