Akt-mediated mechanotransduction in murine fibroblasts during hypertrophic scar formation.

Although numerous factors are implicated in skin fibrosis, the exact pathophysiology of hypertrophic scarring remains unknown. We recently demonstrated that mechanical force initiates hypertrophic scar formation in a murine model, potentially enhancing cellular survival through Akt. Here, we specifi...
