Inhibition of fibroblast-populated collagen lattice contraction by an albumin-bound lipid fraction in human amniotic fluid.

abstract：:Deficiency of the free border of the lip is frequently encountered in secondary cleft lip deformities. The free border of the lip consists of the orbicularis oris marginalis muscle and its overlying subcutaneous tissue, vermilion, and mucosa. The pathology may involve any or all of these components. When there is an a...
