Abstract
Fibroblasts have a central role in wound healing via matrix production, remodeling, and contraction. Their role as mechanoresponsive cells during tissue repair is evident, but the molecular mechanisms of this process remain uncertain. Filamin A, an intracellular protein that stabilizes the actin cytoskeleton regulates fibroblast-matrix interactions. Fibroblast defects in cytoskeletal dynamics may underlie key aspects of chronic wound pathophysiology.Entities:
