    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...
