Contraction of collagen–glycosaminoglycan matrices by peripheral nerve cells in vitro

The objective of this study was to investigate the contractile behavior of peripheral nerve support cells in collagen–glycosaminoglycan (GAG) matrices in vitro. Contractile fibroblasts (myofibroblasts) are known to participate in wound contraction during healing of selected connective tissues (viz.,...
