The maturation of connective tissue involves the organization of collagen fibres by resident fibroblasts. Fibroblast attachment to collagen has been demonstrated to involve cell surface receptors, integrins of the beta 1 family. Integrins are associated with cytoplasmic actin of microfilaments eithe

We have reported that Cellular Retinol Binding Protein-1 (CRBP-1) is expressed de novo during skin wound healing by a proportion of fibroblastic cells which then differentiate into myofibroblasts and express alpha-smooth muscle actin. In fibroblasts cultured from different tissues we have shown that
## Abstract Migration and proliferation of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are key events during neointimal formation in pathological conditions of vessels. Tenascin‐C (TNC) is upregulated in the developing neointima of lesions. We evaluated the effects of TNC on responses of SMCs against platelet‐deriv
