Immunolocalization of endomucin-reactive blood vessels and α-smooth muscle actin-positive cells in murine nasal conchae
2022, Journal of Oral BiosciencesCitation Excerpt :In the current study, in contrast to the long bones, many αSMA-positive fibroblastic cells were seen throughout the lamina propria of the nasal conchae of the 3-week-old and 7-week-old mice. Some reports have proposed that αSMA serves as a marker of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells [23–25], while others suggested that αSMA indicates fully-differentiated myofibroblasts [26,27]. Since αSMA-positive fibroblastic cells were not co-localized with c-kit-reactive cells in our current examination, we assume that αSMA-positive fibroblastic cells might be myofibroblasts rather than undifferentiated mesenchyme cells.
