Regulation of calmodulin-stimulated cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE1): review.

abstract：:The majority of studies on scar formation have mainly focused on the dermis and little is known of the involvement of the epidermis. Previous research has demonstrated that the scar tissue-derived keratinocytes are different from normal cells at both the genetic and cell biological levels; however, the mechanisms resp...
