TLDR Fibroblast and endothelial cell interactions are crucial in forming hypertrophic scars.
This study explores the role of fibroblasts and endothelial cells in hypertrophic scar formation using both in vitro and in vivo models. It highlights that endothelial cells promote fibroblast proliferation and migration through cytokines like VEGF, PDGF, bFGF, and TGF-β, contributing to scar formation. The research also identifies key molecular pathways, including TGF-β, IL-17, Wnt, Notch, PI3K-Akt, and MAPK, that regulate fibroblast activity. These findings emphasize the importance of fibroblast-endothelial cell interactions in scar development and suggest potential therapeutic targets for treating tissue injuries and related diseases.
