Morphometric studies of collagen and fibrin lattices contracted by human ging...
Cell shape variations and substratum re-organization during contraction of floating collagen and fibrin lattices seeded with human gingival fibroblasts were determined... -
Contribution of the plasmin/matrix metalloproteinase cascade to the retractio...
To assess the contribution of the plasmin/matrix metalloproteinase cascade in lattices retraction, human gingival fibroblast-populated collagen lattices were... -
The rate of fibrinolysis is increased by free retraction of human gingival fi...
We previously demonstrated that human gingival fibroblasts (HGF), but not their dermal counterparts, when seeded in retracting fibrin lattices induced intense... -
Tissue origin and extracellular matrix control neutral proteinase activity in...
Remodeling of the extracellular matrix by fibroblasts is an important step in the process of wound healing and tissue repair. We compared the behavior of fibroblasts... -
Elastolysis induces collagenolysis in a gingival lamina propria model.
Elastin peptides were previously reported to increase MMP expression in several cell types. We found binding of these peptides to their receptors led to enhanced MMP-3...
