Isometric contraction of Dupuytren's myofibroblasts is inhibited by blocking intercellular junctions.

Myofibroblasts (MFs) are responsible for both physiological wound and scar contraction. However, it is not known whether these cells act individually to contract the surrounding matrix or whether they behave in a coordinated manner. Therefore, we studied intercellular junctions of primary human MFs...
