| We favor cytokine-and growth factor-dependent transdifferentiation of resident fibroblasts into myofibroblasts. |
| To include a test system avoiding this general problem, primary human embryonic fibroblasts were added to the study. |
| The adventitia is rich in collagen bundles, and contains some cells that may be fibroblasts or macrophages. |
| Moreover, BALF from allergen-stimulated airways was mitogenic for airway fibroblasts. |
| A similar sheet of human fibroblasts was wrapped around the media to provide the adventitia. |
| It has been shown that conditioned media from fibroblasts from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis stimulates angiogenesis. |
