Figure 2From: The myofibroblast, multiple origins for major roles in normal and pathological tissue repairMyofibroblast origins. The main myofibroblast progenitor after injury of different tissues appears to be locally residing fibroblasts. Indeed, various cell types can acquire a myofibroblastic phenotype; these diverse origins lead to distinct myofibroblast sub-populations. EMT: epithelial- and endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition.Back to article page
