A study of fibroblast-mediated contraction in ocular scarring : gene expression profiling and the role of small GTPases in Matrix Metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1) regulation

Understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in fibroblast-mediated tissue contraction is essential for developing future therapeutics for anti-scaring and fibrosis treatment not only for eyes, but also for a wide range of fibrotic diseases. The small Rho GTPase Rac1 is a master regulator of acti...
