CCN2, connective tissue growth factor, stimulates collagen deposition by gingival fibroblasts via module 3 and α6‐ and β1 integrins
Article 2006 EN Bronze
CCN2, (connective tissue growth factor, CTGF) is a matricellular factor associated with fibrosis that plays an important role in the production and maintenance of fibrotic lesions. Increased collagen deposition and accumulation is a common feature of fibrotic tissues. The mechanisms by which CCN2/CTGF contributes to fibrosis are not well understood. Previous studies suggest that CTGF exerts some o…
