ITHACA, New York, May 12 [TNSbiologyresearch] -- Cornell University issued the following news:
Sometimes, good cells turn bad. But it's not their fault: They are products of their environment.
Consider the case of myofibroblasts, connective tissue cells that assist in wound healing. These cells produce, bundle and pull together the collagen fibers of the surrounding microenvironment - a fibrous mesh known as the extracellular matrix, which restores the tissue in wound r . . .
