[Contractile connective tissue cells and wound healing. Function of myoid fibroblasts in reparative regeneration of mesenchymal tissue]. 1978

D Katenkamp, and D Stiller

The present survey deals with processes of wound healing with special regard to fibroblast proliferation. Comparative experimental studies on reparative and regenerative fibroblastic proliferates and findings from the literature point to the importance of a fibroblast modification with myoid structure in certain phases of the reparative regeneration of the connective tissues. The ultrastructural picture of the myoid fibroblasts and their functional significance are discussed with regard to wound healing in man.
