Comparative Analysis of the Extracellular Matrix Composition in Proliferating and Involuted Infantile Hemangiomas

摘要

BackgroundChanges in the composition of the extracellular matrix (ECM) occur between the proliferating and involuted phases of infantile hemangiomas (IH), and are associated with angiogenic growth. We examined the composition of the ECM in proliferating and involuted IHs and assessed correlations between the composition of the ECM and whether the IH was in the proliferating or the involuted phase.
