Hepatocyte growth factor inhibits TGF-β1-induced myofibroblast differentiation in tendon fibroblasts: role of AMPK signaling pathway
The transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)-induced myofibroblastic differentiation in tendon fibroblasts was thought to be one of the most important features of scar fibrosis formation, which is associated wit...

HGF inhibits TGF-β1-induced myofibroblast differentiation and ECM deposition via MMP-2 in Achilles tendon in rat
Both myofibroblast differentiation and extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition are essential components of scar formation in tendons, and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is reported to prevent fibrogenic response...

HGF suppresses the production of collagen type III and α-SMA induced by TGF-β1 in healing fibroblasts
The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of HGF in blocking TGF-β1-induced collagen III and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) production in rat healing fibroblasts, fibroblasts were obtained from hea...

Controlling Cell Responses to Cyclic Mechanical Stretching
In most cell culture studies, cells are grown on smooth culture surfaces. Using microfabrication technology, we have developed microgrooved silicone surfaces to grow cells and subject them to repetitive mechan...
