1 | Regulation of Transforming Growth Factor beta1, Platelet-Derived Growth Factor, and Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor by Silicone Gel Sheeting in Early-Stage Scarring. | Silicones | fibroblast growth factor 2 | Homo sapiens |
2 | The expression of bFGF in the dermis was significantly higher in the case of silicone gel sheet-treated scars than in the case of untreated scars (P=0.042), but in the epidermis, the expression of bFGF showed no significant difference between the groups (P=0.655). | Silicones | fibroblast growth factor 2 | Homo sapiens |
3 | CONCLUSIONS: The levels of TGF-beta1, PDGF, and bFGF are altered by the silicone gel sheet treatment, which might be one of the mechanisms of action in scar prevention. | Silicones | fibroblast growth factor 2 | Homo sapiens |
